Flight narrative

The flight began with the Horten Ho229 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KSFZ North Central State Airport, taking approximately 1 minute to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 844 feet, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 88 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 85°F temperature and a 15-knot headwind at 208°. The aircraft climbed from 871 feet above sea level to 39,480 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,609 feet, in just 10 minutes and covering 55 nautical miles. This enroute climb started overhead KSFZ North Central State Airport in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles west of Blue Hills in Connecticut. This cruise lasted for 37 minutes, covering a significant distance of 729 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles west of Neoga in Illinois, and descended from 39,340 feet above sea level to 4,628 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,712 feet, in just 5 minutes and covering 91 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 1 mile northeast of 3SQ St Charles in Illinois, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 22 nautical miles. However, this was short-lived, as the aircraft began its descent once again, this time starting 6 miles south of 98MO Woodliff Airpark in Foristell, Missouri. The descent from 5,054 feet above sea level to 2,088 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,966 feet, took just 3 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 08R at KSUS Spirit of St Louis Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 78.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,615 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a touchdown distance of 945 feet, which was good considering the runway length of 6,991 feet. The touchdown speed of 66 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -113 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centreline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 88°F temperature and a 6-knot headwind at 39°. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,392 feet, which accounted for 20% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing Summary

The Horten Ho 229 aircraft successfully landed at the Spirit of St. Louis Airport (KSUS) on runway 08R. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 78.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,615 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.

However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 94 knots, which may have required some additional control input from the pilot to manage the aircraft's speed during the final stages of the approach. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 945 feet, and the touchdown speed of 66 knots was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was also smooth at -113 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 17 feet from the centreline, which may have required some additional control input from the pilot to maintain alignment during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 88°F and a wind speed of 8 knots from 39°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,392 feet, which is approximately 20% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and manage its speed effectively during the approach and touchdown phases. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
