Flight Score
Track the centreline on final
Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 845 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 845 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 192 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The XCub aircraft departed from runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, covering a takeoff distance of 300 meters, which is 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 79 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of 1°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 215 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, it reached an altitude of 1,487 feet above sea level, increasing by 856 feet in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead Ranstadt, lasting for 4 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 2 miles northwest of Gedern, reaching an altitude of 2,589 feet above sea level, an increase of 457 feet in 4 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at EDUR Hoherodskopf Airfield was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 248.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 424 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 25 at EDUR Hoherodskopf Airfield was successful, with the touchdown distance being 191 meters, which is good. However, the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 54 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -357 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 5°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 192 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 429 meters, which is 51% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, taking 13 minutes, and the aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The XCub aircraft successfully landed at EDUR Hoherodskopf Airfield, achieving an overall score of 85.2%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 248.0° at 1 nautical mile and 424 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 25, which has a length of 845 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 59 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to make some adjustments to the approach to achieve a more optimal speed. The touchdown distance was good at 191 meters, which is a reasonable distance considering the runway length.
However, the touchdown speed was reported as fast at 54 knots, which may indicate that the pilot could have made some adjustments to the approach to achieve a more optimal speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -357 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests that the aircraft touched down with a relatively high rate of descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The local weather conditions were reported as follows: a temperature of 5°C, wind at 4 knots from 192°, with a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 429 meters, which is 51% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot made a good approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills. However, there is room for improvement in terms of achieving a more optimal touchdown speed and rate of descent.
