Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 48 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 63 kt, 15 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 48 kt at liftoff

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,918 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 344 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The XCub aircraft departed from Rigolet Airport (CCZ2) on runway 11, rolling down the runway for a takeoff distance of 158 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 63 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots blowing from a direction of 22 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Rigolet Airport, rising from an altitude of 1,000 feet above sea level to 1,666 feet above sea level in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then entered a level cruise 1 mile south-east of the airport, maintaining a steady altitude for 2 minutes while covering 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft's second enroute climb began 2 miles south of Rigolet Airport, where it ascended from 1,912 feet above sea level to 5,758 feet above sea level in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered another level cruise 19 miles south-west of the airport, maintaining a steady altitude for 29 minutes while covering 58 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 10 miles north of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, descending from 5,642 feet above sea level to 2,049 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final level cruise 6 miles north-west of Goose Bay Airport, maintaining a steady altitude for 2 minutes while covering 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 15 at Goose Bay Airport was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 133.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 15, which had a length of 2,918 meters. Although the threshold speed was too high at 68 knots, the touchdown distance was good at 343 meters. The touchdown speed of 58 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -97 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots blowing from a direction of 30 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 431 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 94 nautical miles, which was completed in 51 minutes, and the aircraft used 25 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The XCub aircraft successfully landed at CYYR Goose Bay Airport, achieving a score of 96.6%. The final approach was conducted from the northwest, heading 133.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 15, which has a length of 2,918 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 68 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 343 meters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 58 knots was a bit fast, but the touchdown rate of -97 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a well-executed landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.3 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 30°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 431 meters, which is 15% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a relatively short distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the XCub aircraft performed well during the landing, with the exception of a slightly high threshold speed and a slightly fast touchdown speed. However, the excellent touchdown rate and good runway rollout alignment demonstrate a high level of skill and control from the pilot.
