Landing on runway 22 at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport in the XCub

Landing Score 82.67 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 22 at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport from the north east was initiated at 0 nm and 340 ft above ground level, heading 229.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 71 ft above ground level, which was well above the target. The threshold speed of 60 kt was slightly above the target, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 220 m was good, and the touchdown speed of 38 kt was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of 698 fpm was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 m from the centreline, which could be attributed to the crosswind conditions. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -8 °C and wind at 11 kt from 336°, contributed to the slight deviation from the centreline.

The total landing distance of 309 m, accounting for 57% of the runway length, was reasonable considering the conditions. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft. Overall, the landing performance of the XCub was satisfactory, with a score of 82.7%. While there were some minor deviations from the target, the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
