Arrival
This flight was conducted in a XCub aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from the Hoherodskopf Airfield in Ulrichstein, Hessen, Germany. The aircraft took off from an altitude of 2,171 feet above sea level and climbed to 2,687 feet above sea level, an increase of 516 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This climb phase was a crucial part of the flight, setting the stage for the rest of the journey.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise phase, where it maintained a steady altitude for 4 minutes while covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. This phase was located 2 miles south of Schotten, another town in Hessen, Germany. The cruise phase allowed the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a steady pace.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft entered an enroute descent phase, starting 1 mile north of Ranstadt, Hessen, Germany. During this phase, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 2,080 feet above sea level to 709 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,370 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This descent phase was a critical part of the flight, requiring precise control to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
The final approach to the runway was conducted from the north, heading 173.0 degrees at an altitude of 311 feet above ground level, with the aircraft positioned at 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 18 at the Reichelsheim Airfield, which has a runway length of 1,230 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 50 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 71 meters, and the touchdown speed was 47 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was excellent at -94 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 1 degree Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 212 degrees.
The total landing distance was 397 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout after touchdown.

The XCub aircraft successfully landed at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, achieving a score of 86.8%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 173.0° at an altitude of 311 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 18, which has a length of 1,230 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 50 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 71 meters, and the touchdown speed of 47 knots was also within acceptable limits.
One of the notable aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -94 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact, which is a key factor in reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and its occupants. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had excellent control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 212°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was also 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance was 397 meters, which is approximately 32% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had excellent control of the aircraft and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, this landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and technique throughout the approach and landing phases. The XCub aircraft performed well in the challenging conditions, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
