Touched down at -164 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 473 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 11 ft and 145 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Enroute Descent — GPWS warning, then stall warning; speed limits at 0 %, bank angle up to 106.9 ° at 0 %, −6.00 points
Enroute Climb — GPWS warning, then 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; bank angle up to 173.0 ° at 0 %, g force 0.02 to 9.79 g at 0 %, −3.33 points
Enroute Climb — bank angle up to 78.0 ° at 24 %, g force 0.63 to 3.07 g at 55 %, −2.33 points

Top opportunity

Slow the descent speed

Enroute Descent

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The enroute descent started 5 miles south of CN37 Kelso Valley Airport Mojave, where the aircraft descended from 13,608 feet above sea level to 1,981 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,627 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began another enroute climb 6 miles northeast of L91 Rio Bravo Bakersfield, where it climbed from 1,933 feet above sea level to 1,462 feet above sea level, an increase of 471 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 30R at KBFL Meadows Field was made from the southeast, heading 315.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 894 feet above ground level.

The aircraft landed on runway 30R at KBFL Meadows Field, which had a length of 7,402 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 361 knots. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 146 knots, with a touchdown distance of 482 feet. The touchdown rate was good at -164 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 73 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 323 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 10 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,268 feet, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 86 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 18 minutes. The aircraft used -12 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 30R at KBFL Meadows Field in the F14A
Landing Score 98.85 %
Landing Summary

The F14A aircraft successfully landed on runway 30R at KBFL Meadows Field, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing maneuver. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 315.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 894 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed at a suitable altitude and distance from the runway, allowing the pilot to maintain control and precision throughout the landing process.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 146 knots, which is within the recommended threshold speed for the runway. The touchdown distance of 482 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and maintained a stable approach. The touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute (fpm) was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's energy and maintain a safe rate of descent.

However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 15 feet off-center. This minor misalignment may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not significantly impact the overall safety or success of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 73°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 323°, were favorable for the landing, with a slight headwind component that may have contributed to the aircraft's stable approach.

The total landing distance of 2,268 feet was 31% of the runway length, which is a reasonable and acceptable distance for a landing of this type. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's rotation and maintained a stable rollout. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency and skill on the part of the pilot, with a score of 84.5% indicating a very good performance.
