This flight was conducted in an XCub aircraft, taking off from Inverness Airport (EGPE) in Inverness, Scotland. The aircraft began its enroute climb from a height of 54 feet above sea level (asl), gradually increasing to 119 feet asl over the course of 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This initial climb phase was a smooth and efficient start to the flight.
Upon landing, the XCub touched down on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height at 84 feet above ground level (agl) was significantly higher than the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 50 knots. Despite these minor deviations, the touchdown point was 303 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 47 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -48 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 222 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 3 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the rollout alignment after touchdown was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The total landing distance covered by the XCub was 973 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, suggesting that the aircraft was well-handled and the pilot executed the landing with precision. The total flight distance was a mere 1 nautical mile, and the flight duration was 2 minutes. Notably, the XCub used -10 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating a high level of fuel efficiency.

The XCub aircraft successfully landed on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a score of 79.3%. The landing was conducted under favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 222°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the aircraft experienced a slight tailwind of 3 kt.
The aircraft's approach to the runway was notable for its high threshold height, which was significantly above the target. However, the pilot managed to maintain a suitable threshold speed of 50 kt, which was only slightly below the target. The touchdown point was located 303 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have been slightly late in initiating the flare.
Despite the slightly long touchdown point, the touchdown speed of 47 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -48 fpm was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway. The total landing distance of 973 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's performance.
The rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and had brought it to a stop in a stable and aligned manner. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of achieving a more precise touchdown point and maintaining a more consistent threshold speed.
