The F-35A Lightning II took off from runway 26 at PAJN Juneau International Airport, Alaska, United States. The aircraft rolled down the runway for 561 meters, which is 22% of the runway's length, before lifting off at a speed of 196 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb over the Juneau Seaplane Base, located at 5Z3. The climb started at an altitude of 1,250 feet above sea level and reached 3,624 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was followed by a level cruise that lasted for 5 minutes and covered 43 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying 9 miles northwest of the Juneau Seaplane Base.

The enroute descent phase began 7 miles southeast of the Haines Seaplane Base, located at 3Z9. The aircraft descended from 3,066 feet to 1,292 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. This descent was followed by another climb phase, which started 1 mile northeast of Skagway, Alaska. The aircraft climbed from 1,298 feet to 6,714 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase resumed 23 miles north of Skagway and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 14 miles southwest of Carcross, Yukon, Canada, and the aircraft descended from 7,222 feet to 3,330 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.

The F-35A Lightning II then began its final approach to runway 32L at CYXY Whitehorse / Erik Nielsen International Airport, flying from the south at a heading of 342.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,019 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which is 2,204 meters long, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 135 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 40 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 135 knots.

The touchdown rate was firm at -326 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 224 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 1-knot tailwind.

The total landing distance was 1,000 meters, which is 45% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 7 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing on runway 32L at CYXY Whitehorse / Erik Nielsen International Airport in the F-35A Lightning II

Landing Score 93.17 %

Landing Summary

The F-35A Lightning II aircraft successfully landed at CYXY Whitehorse / Erik Nielsen International Airport, achieving a score of 93.2%. The final approach to runway 32L was initiated from the south, heading 342.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,019 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 135 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 40 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate was firm at -326 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a relatively steep descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.8 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots from 224°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.

The total landing distance of 1,000 meters was 45% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.9 meters, which may have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position error.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor errors in terms of alignment and touchdown position, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's systems.
