Top opportunity

Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

The Horten Ho229 took off from runway 28 at EGNH Blackpool International Airport, rolling down the runway for a distance of 930 feet, which accounted for 15% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 91 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 319 degrees. The crosswind component was 15 knots, while the headwind component was also 15 knots.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern, completing the entry turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 40 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was also completed in less than 1 nautical mile, but in a much shorter time of 3 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles at an angle of 76.0 degrees to the runway. The base leg turn was shorter, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 27.2 degrees to the runway.

The final approach to runway 28 was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 277.0 degrees at an altitude of 231 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 64 knots and a distance of 305 feet. The touchdown rate was very hard, at -538 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 320 degrees. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used 45 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Horten Ho 229, a German experimental tailless aircraft, has successfully landed at EGNH Blackpool International Airport. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, aligning itself with the runway heading of 277.0° at an altitude of 231 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.

The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 73 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 305 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 64 knots was within the acceptable range, suggesting that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed.

However, the touchdown rate of -538 feet per minute (fpm) was considered very hard, indicating that the aircraft's descent was steeper than desired. This may have been due to the pilot's decision to prioritize a shorter touchdown distance or to compensate for the aircraft's high approach speed. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained the aircraft's alignment with the runway throughout the landing process.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 40°F and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 320°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 9 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the successful landing suggests that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's response to the wind.

Overall, the landing of the Horten Ho 229 at EGNH Blackpool International Airport was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and within the acceptable speed and distance ranges. However, the very hard touchdown rate may indicate that the pilot could have benefited from a more gradual descent or a higher approach speed to achieve a softer touchdown.
