Top opportunity

Improve the pattern downwind leg

Pattern Downwind

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

Landing Summary

The Horten Ho 229 aircraft successfully landed at KSFZ North Central State Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing maneuvers. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 213.0° at an altitude of 181 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 5,004 feet. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at a suitable altitude when it crossed the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 107 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the aircraft's speed before touchdown to achieve a more optimal landing.

The touchdown distance of 1,071 feet was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and slow down effectively during the landing. The touchdown speed of 70 knots was also reported as good, suggesting that the pilot was able to achieve a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of -254 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is an important aspect of landing, as it helps to ensure that the aircraft remains on the runway and avoids any potential obstacles.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 52°F and a wind speed of 17 knots from 295°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 17 knots and a headwind component of 2 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the aircraft was able to maintain control and complete a successful landing.

The total landing distance of 1,774 feet was 35% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and align itself with the runway centerline during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the landing of the Horten Ho 229 at KSFZ North Central State Airport was a successful one, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing maneuvers. However, there were some areas for improvement, including the excessively high threshold speed and the fair touchdown rate.
