Top opportunity

Improve the landing

The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the F-35C Lightning taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGUL RAF Lakenheath, taking approximately 6 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 24, with a takeoff distance of 950 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 200 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 257 degrees.

As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of Lakenheath. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,056 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 29,969 feet, an increase of 28,913 feet in just 11 minutes, covering a distance of 62 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase of the flight began 8 miles east of Saltfleet in Lincolnshire, England, and lasted for 58 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 553 nautical miles.

The enroute descent phase of the flight started 12 miles east of ENSF Statfjord A Helipad Stryn in Vestland, Norway, and lasted for 12 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 29,849 feet to 1,702 feet, a decrease of 28,146 feet. The descent covered a distance of 73 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at ENKB Kristiansund Airport, Kvernberget, was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 257.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,495 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 25 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 126 knots and a distance of 168 meters. The touchdown rate was a bit hard at -564 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

Landing on runway 25 at ENKB Kristiansund Airport, Kvernberget in the F-35C Lightning
Landing Score 93.81 %
Landing Summary

The F-35C Lightning aircraft successfully landed at ENKB Kristiansund Airport, Kvernberget, with a score of 93.8%. The final approach to runway 25 was initiated from the east, heading 257.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,495 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 142 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 168 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in executing a precise landing.

One area of concern was the touchdown rate, which was recorded at -564 feet per minute. This is considered a very hard touchdown, suggesting that the aircraft may have been brought down too quickly. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment throughout the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 220°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.

The total landing distance of 819 meters was 37% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and alignment throughout the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. However, the hard touchdown rate is an area that requires attention to ensure that the aircraft is brought down smoothly and safely in the future.
