Exemplar T-38 landing simulation performed by a military test pilot. (a) Overhead view of the flight path. Map data: Google, DigitalGlobe. (b) Airspeed, (c) Altitude, (d) Roll (bank) of the aircraft. The pilot maintained airspeed at 300 KIAS until the first turn, then gradually reduced airspeed through the left bank and downwind leg whilst deploying the landing gear and flaps. Altitude was maintained at 1500 ft until the initiation of the second leftward turn, then the aircraft gradually descended through the turn and the final approach with a touchdown at 120 KIAS.
