The CubCrafters CC-19 XCub taxied to runway 08 at ENSD Sandane Airport and commenced the departure roll, achieving a take-off distance of 331 m which represented 39 % of the available runway. Liftoff occurred at 65 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 44°, providing a 1 kt head-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind.

Climb began approximately 1 nm east of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 661 ft asl to 1,054 ft asl, a gain of 393 ft achieved in 1 minute while covering less than 1 nm.

The first cruise segment started the same point 1 nm east of ENSD and lasted 5 minutes, during which the aircraft progressed 9 nm at level flight.

A second climb was initiated about 4 nm south-west of Innvik, raising the altitude from 1,700 ft asl to 2,225 ft asl, an increase of 525 ft over 2 minutes while traversing 3 nm.

Subsequent level cruise commenced 4 nm west of Innvik, persisting for 3 minutes and covering a further 6 nm.

Descent commenced 3 nm north of Sandane, with the aircraft descending from 2,534 ft asl to 675 ft asl, a loss of 1,858 ft in 4 minutes across 6 nm.

The final approach to runway 08 was flown from the west, on a heading of 89.0° at 1 nm distance and 483 ft above ground level, under local conditions of 16 °C, wind 1 kt from 33°, yielding a 1 kt head-wind and 1 kt cross-wind.

Landing on runway 08, which is 840 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 57 kt. Touchdown occurred 115 m down the runway at 53 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 186 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.3 m from the centreline. The total landing roll measured 244 m, representing 29 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was recorded as very good.

Runway rollout was completed with the aircraft remaining well aligned on the centreline, confirming the very good rollout alignment noted in the landing data.

In total, the flight covered 27 nm, required 14 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 7 kg of fuel.
