The F-14B Tomcat departed from runway 10 at GMMX Menara Airport, lifting off the ground at a speed of 191 knots after traveling 5,626 feet down the runway, which is 55 percent of its total length. At the time of takeoff, the local temperature was 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and the wind was blowing at 6 knots from a direction of 29 degrees, with a 5-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.
After departing, the Tomcat began its enroute climb south of Marrakesh. Over the course of 5 minutes, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,610 feet above sea level to 15,822 feet, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles. This climb demonstrated the impressive speed and agility of the F-14B Tomcat.
However, the descent from 15,766 feet to 10,944 feet over the following 2 minutes showcased both the capabilities of the aircraft and the skill of the pilot, as the aircraft decreased in altitude by 4,822 feet over a relatively short period while covering 17 nautical miles.
Following this initial descent, the Tomcat engaged in an enroute level cruise north east of Oukaimedene. This period of steady flight lasted a mere 2 minutes and covered 15 nautical miles.
Later, another descent took place, this time from an altitude of 10,193 feet to 4,331 feet over 3 minutes, as the aircraft covered 23 nautical miles. This descent was followed by a smaller climb from 4,469 to 5,814 feet above sea level over 2 minutes, as the aircraft covered 8 nautical miles.
The final descent occurred 13 miles north west of GMMX Menara Airport. During this descent, the Tomcat decreased in altitude from 5,859 to 3,003 feet over 4 minutes while covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach was made to runway 10 at GMMX Menara Airport from the west, heading 107.0 degrees at an altitude of about 1,471 feet above ground level. The landing was completed on runway 10, a 10,152-foot long runway. At the time of landing, the local temperature was 72 degrees Fahrenheit, with a 7-knot wind blowing at 30 degrees. However, the wind conditions resulted in a 6-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.
The landing was accomplished at a speed of 166 knots, which was much faster than the target speed, but the touchdown distance of 898 feet was good. Unfortunately, the touchdown speed was a little high at 159 knots, and the touchdown rate was very heavy at -1,150 feet per minute. Upon landing, the runway touchdown position was found to be 31 feet off centerline. The total landing distance was 3,471 feet, or 34 percent of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was found to be slightly off by 30 feet, but despite these factors, the pilot successfully completed the landing, ensuring a safe return to the ground. The F-14B Tomcat's impressive capabilities were demonstrated throughout this flight, showcasing its agility, speed, and maneuverability.
The total flight distance was 114 nautical miles, consuming about 10 pounds more fuel than the total fuel usage calculated.

The F-14B Tomcat successfully landed on runway 10 at GMMX Menara Airport, with a score of 84.7%. The initial approach was from the west, heading 107.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,471 feet above ground level. This marked the start of the aircraft's descent for landing.
The aircraft successfully landed on the runway, which has a length of 10,152 feet. However, the threshold height was above the target, indicating that the aircraft descended a bit short of the ideal landing height, touching down at 68 feet above ground level. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target, suggesting a slight discrepancy in the aircraft's descent rate.
The touch-down distance of 898 feet was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a suitable airspeed and control during the final stages of the descent. Despite this, the touch-down speed of 159 knots was slightly faster than the target, which may have resulted in a heavier touchdown.
The touchdown rate of -1,150 feet per minute was characterized as very heavy, which could potentially increase the wear and tear on the aircraft's landing gear and brakes. Moreover, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 31 feet from the centreline, which may be attributed to crosswind factors.
On the day of the landing, the local weather was pleasant, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 7 knots coming from a direction of 30°. The crosswind and headwind conditions were relatively mild, with 6 and 3 knots respectively. Taking these wind conditions into account, the pilot may have encountered some difficulty in maintaining alignment on the runway.
The total landing distance was 3,471 feet, which accounts for 34% of the runway length. This is well within the typical bounds for a landing operation. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline, but this may be related to the wind conditions and crosswind effects.
