Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 7,142 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 7,142 ft of the 11,991 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,172 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The B-2 Spirit aircraft took off from runway 19 at Whiteman Air Force Base, KSZL, with a takeoff distance of 4,815 ft, which was 39% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 144 kt. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 64 °F, with a wind speed of 10 kt at 170 °, resulting in a 4 kt crosswind and a 10 kt headwind.
After departing from Whiteman Air Force Base, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of the base and climbing from 1,527 ft asl to 38,964 ft asl, an increase of 37,438 ft in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nm. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles south east of Osage City, Kansas, and lasted for 125 minutes, covering a distance of 3,628 nm.
The aircraft then began its descent, starting at a latitude of 17.7789532 and longitude of -161.7571877, and descending from 41,297 ft asl to 29,029 ft asl, a decrease of 12,267 ft in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nm. The enroute level cruise started at a latitude of 18.0655226 and longitude of -161.8610028 and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 204 nm.
The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 82 miles south west of PHJR Kalaeloa Airport Kapolei, Hawaii, and descending from 29,107 ft asl to 146 ft asl, a decrease of 28,961 ft in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 89 nm. The final approach to runway 26L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport was made from the east, heading 271.0 ° at 0 nm and 128 ft agl.
The aircraft landed on runway 26L at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, with a runway length of 11,991 ft. The touchdown point was 796 ft beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 123 kt, which was good. The touchdown rate was also good at -163 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 ft from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 73 °F, with a wind speed of 6 kt at 330 °, resulting in a 5 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
The total landing distance was 6,866 ft, which was 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, taking 28 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nm. The total flight distance was 4,046 nm, taking 183 minutes, and the aircraft used 1,431 lbs of fuel.
The B-2 Spirit aircraft successfully landed at PHNL Daniel K Inouye International Airport, achieving a score of 92.2%. The final approach to runway 26L was initiated from the east, heading 271.0° at an altitude of 128 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 132 knots. The touchdown point was located 796 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the designated area. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -163 feet per minute (fpm) was also good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 330°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 6,866 feet was 57% of the available runway length of 11,991 feet. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for safe deceleration. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft scored well in terms of speed, rate, and alignment. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated area, which may be an area for improvement in future landings.
