The XCub aircraft successfully landed at YLIL Lilydale Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 187.0° at an altitude of 67 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 18R, which has a length of 1,324 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 51 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare earlier than expected.
The touchdown distance of 223 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown. The touchdown speed of 48 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -132 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 266°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and there was no headwind component.
The total landing distance of 342 meters was 26% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable approach and touchdown, and the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown.
