The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at San Diego International Airport (KSAN). The Boeing F/A-18E aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 515 meters, which is 25% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 156 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 299 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began to ascend from an altitude of 1,082 feet above sea level to 786 feet above sea level, an increase of 296 feet in just 1 minute. This climb phase covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a series of climb and descent phases, each occurring at different locations along the route. The aircraft climbed from 1,126 feet above sea level to 2,300 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,174 feet in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. It then descended from 2,354 feet above sea level to 308 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,046 feet in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The flight continued with further climb and descent phases, each occurring at different locations along the route. The aircraft climbed from 262 feet above sea level to 1,161 feet above sea level, an increase of 898 feet in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. It then descended from 1,071 feet above sea level to 257 feet above sea level, a decrease of 814 feet in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The flight then entered a significant climb phase, during which the aircraft ascended from 262 feet above sea level to 25,269 feet above sea level, an increase of 25,008 feet in 3 minutes, while covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. It then descended from 24,886 feet above sea level to 1,351 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,535 feet in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at KSAN San Diego International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 285.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 27, which has a length of 2,094 meters. The threshold speed was excessively high at 192 knots, and the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway.
The touchdown speed was good at 126 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -357 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 17.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 289 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,554 meters, which is 74% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 24.9 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 54 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,165 kilograms of fuel during the flight

The Boeing F/A-18E aircraft successfully landed on runway 27 at San Diego International Airport (KSAN), but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 285.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,279 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was significantly long, using more than 50% of the available runway.
The threshold speed was excessively high at 192 knots, which is a concern as it may have contributed to the long touchdown point. However, the touchdown speed at 126 knots was good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. The touchdown rate was firm at -357 feet per minute (fpm), which is within a safe range.
One of the major issues with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off by 17.3 meters from the centerline. This misalignment was also evident during the runway rollout, where the aircraft was off by 24.9 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have had difficulty aligning the aircraft with the runway during the final approach and touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 289°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was 4 knots, which may have contributed to the long touchdown point. The total landing distance was 1,554 meters, which is 74% of the available runway length.
Overall, while the Boeing F/A-18E aircraft successfully landed on runway 27 at KSAN, the landing was not without its issues. The excessively high threshold speed, long touchdown point, and significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position and rollout alignment are all concerns that need to be addressed to improve the safety and efficiency of future landings.
