Landing on runway 19 at U60 Big Creek Airport in the XCub

Landing Score 84.09 %

Landing Summary

The XCub aircraft successfully landed at U60 Big Creek Airport, with a final approach from the north east, heading 206.0° at 0 nm and 224 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 19, which has a length of 1,088 meters. However, the threshold height at 77 ft agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been higher than desired at the point of touchdown.

Upon landing, the aircraft's threshold speed was excessively high at 75 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach speed not being adequately managed. The touchdown distance of 426 meters was considered good, but the touchdown speed of 56 knots was faster than desired. The touchdown rate of -190 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a positive aspect of the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of -2°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 346°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the high threshold speed and fast touchdown speed.

The total landing distance of 559 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the XCub aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the landing at U60 Big Creek Airport.
