The XCub departed from a point 1 mile south of Coober Pedy, State of South Australia, Australia, initiating a climb to 850 ft above sea level. The aircraft successfully ascended 650 ft in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This initial climb phase set the stage for the subsequent phases of the flight.
As the XCub approached YCBP Coober Pedy Airport, it began its final approach to runway 32 from the south east, aligning itself with a heading of 330.0° at an altitude of 110 ft above ground level. However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of 566 ft above ground level, opting to re-attempt the landing. Upon re-entering the approach, the XCub successfully landed on runway 32, which measured 959 meters in length. The threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 51 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 322 meters, with a touchdown speed of 41 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -149 ft/min.
The landing was not without some minor deviations from the ideal, as the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 meters from the centreline. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.5 meters from the centreline. The total landing distance was 490 meters, accounting for 51% of the runway length. The flight, which covered a total distance of 5 nautical miles, utilized 1 kilogram of fuel and lasted approximately 4 minutes. Local weather conditions at the time of the flight included a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from 229°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.

The final approach to runway 32 at YCBP Coober Pedy Airport from the south east, heading 330.0°, was initiated at 0 nm and 110 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 77 ft agl, which was well above the target. The threshold speed of 55 kt was good, indicating a well-controlled descent. As the aircraft continued its descent, the threshold height decreased to 65 ft agl, still above the target, and the threshold speed dropped to 51 kt, slightly below the target.
The touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown distance of 322 m and a touchdown speed of 41 kt. The touchdown rate was smooth at -149 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable landing. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The total landing distance of 490 m was 51% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing.
The rollout phase was satisfactory, with the aircraft remaining on the runway for the majority of the distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.5 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the landing path. Despite this, the overall landing performance was good, with a score of 81.7%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind of 4 kt at 229°, were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the good landing performance.
