The Savage Cub taxied to runway 35 at O39 Ravendale Airport and commenced its take-off roll, covering 276 m which represented 35 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 46 kt. Ambient conditions were 5 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 173 °, no cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component.

After departure the aircraft entered the climb segment overhead O39 Ravendale Airport, ascending from 6,299 ft asl to 6,645 ft asl - a gain of 346 ft - in 1 minute while traversing 1 nm.

Cruise began approximately 1 mile north of O39 Ravendale Airport and was maintained for 15 minutes, during which 24 nm were covered at level flight.

The descent phase started 2 miles north-east of 1Q2 Spaulding (Susanville) and reduced altitude from 6,100 ft asl to 5,436 ft asl, a loss of 665 ft, in 2 minutes while covering 2 nm.

Final approach to runway 16 at 1Q2 Spaulding was executed from the north, on a heading of 181.0 ° at 1 nm distance and 316 ft agl.

Landing was made on runway 16, whose length is 1,401 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 40 kt. Touchdown occurred 123 m down the runway at 34 kt with a smooth vertical rate of minus 101 fpm, and the touchdown point was offset 4.9 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 5 °C, wind 2 kt from 181 °, no cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component. Total landing distance measured 178 m, equivalent to 13 % of the runway.

Runway rollout alignment was recorded as very good, confirming the aircraft remained well centred during the deceleration phase.

In total the flight covered 29 nm, required 21 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 24 kg of fuel.
