This flight was conducted in a XCub aircraft, taking off from an altitude of 6,019 feet above sea level (asl) and climbing to 6,879 ft asl. The climb was initiated from overhead Meribel, located in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The aircraft successfully increased its altitude by 859 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the LFLJ Courchevel Altiport, it began its final approach to runway 22 from the north-east, heading in a direction of 225.0°. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 403 feet above ground level (agl) and had covered a distance of 0 nautical miles. The approach was carefully managed to ensure a smooth landing.
Upon landing, the XCub touched down on runway 22, which has a length of 545 meters. The threshold height was reported to be good, and the threshold speed of 42 knots was well below the target speed, requiring the pilot to exercise caution to avoid stalling. The touchdown distance was 56 meters, and the touchdown speed was 36 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was also perfect at 35 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -4°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 290°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 145 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
In terms of fuel consumption, the flight used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles in just 4 minutes. Overall, the flight was conducted with precision and control, demonstrating the capabilities of the XCub aircraft in challenging weather conditions.
