This flight was conducted in an XCub aircraft, taking off from a location 1 mile northwest of Nanwalek, Alaska. The initial climb began at an altitude of 873 feet above sea level and continued until the aircraft reached a height of 82 feet above sea level, resulting in a significant increase of 791 feet in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the desired altitude, the XCub aircraft proceeded to land on runway 19 at the KEB Nanwalek Airport. The runway has a length of 576 meters, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely. The threshold height was deemed good, and the threshold speed of 54 knots was also satisfactory. The touchdown distance of 121 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 49 knots was also considered good.
The touchdown rate of the aircraft was firm, registering at -370 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 97 degrees. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance covered by the XCub aircraft was 329 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was found to be misaligned by 17.7 meters from the centerline. Despite this, the overall performance of the aircraft during landing was satisfactory.
In terms of fuel consumption, the XCub aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the entire flight, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a total distance of 1 nautical mile.

The XCub aircraft successfully landed on runway 19 at KEB Nanwalek Airport, achieving a score of 87.4%. The landing was executed with precision, as evident from the good threshold height and threshold speed of 54 knots. The touchdown distance of 121 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown speed of 49 knots was also satisfactory, and the firm touchdown rate of -370 feet per minute suggests that the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway with minimal bounce or oscillation. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a relatively light wind of 5 knots at 97 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 2 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
However, there was a notable deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft drifting 17.7 meters off the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining directional control during the rollout phase, possibly due to the aircraft's response to the wind or other factors. Despite this, the total landing distance of 329 meters was only 57% of the available runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop in a relatively short distance.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases. However, the deviation in runway rollout alignment highlights an area for improvement and suggests that the pilot may benefit from additional training or practice in maintaining directional control during the rollout phase.
