The Savage Cub taxied from its parking position to the departure runway in 9 minutes, covering a ground distance of 2 nm before lining up on runway 20 at KTRK Truckee-Tahoe Airport.

During the take-off roll the aircraft used 194 m of runway, representing 14 % of the available length, and lifted off at 49 kt; the local weather was 3 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 178°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.

Climb commenced immediately after liftoff, with the airplane ascending from 6,294 ft asl to 8,122 ft asl - a gain of 1,828 ft - in 2 minutes while covering 2 nm, the climb being initiated overhead KTRK Truckee-Tahoe Airport.

The level cruise segment began 2 miles south-east of KTRK and was maintained for 20 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 31 nm at a steady altitude.

Descent started 1 mile south of South Lake Tahoe, descending from 7,919 ft asl to 6,875 ft asl - a loss of 1,044 ft - in 3 minutes and covering 4 nm.

Final approach to runway 36 at KTVL Lake Tahoe Airport was executed from the south, on a heading of 13.0° at 1 nm and 606 ft agl; the aircraft then descended from 817 ft agl to 87 ft agl in 82 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gates.

Landing on runway 36 was achieved with a threshold speed of 38 kt, a touchdown distance of 188 m and a touchdown speed of 35 kt; the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 108 fpm and alignment was perfect, while local conditions were 3 °C, wind 2 kt from 181°, no cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component.

Rollout continued along the runway with perfect alignment; the total landing distance recorded was 305 m, representing 15 % of the runway length.

In total the flight covered 41 nm, taking 31, and used 0 kg of fuel.
