The flight in question was conducted in a Savage Cub aircraft, starting from a location 9 miles northeast of Mahmudia, Romania. The initial climb phase began at an altitude of 2,014 feet above sea level (asl) and remained at the same altitude, resulting in no net change in altitude. This phase lasted for 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile (nm).
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, also starting from the same location. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nm. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time increasing its altitude from 2,014 ft asl to 3,464 ft asl, a gain of 1,449 ft in 3 minutes, while covering a distance of 5 nm.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting from a location 5 miles northeast of Mahmudia, Romania. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nm. The aircraft then began a descent phase, starting from a location 3 miles north of Mahmudia, Romania, and descending from 3,399 ft asl to 2,761 ft asl, a decrease of 638 ft in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 3 nm.
The flight continued with several more level cruise and descent phases, with the aircraft passing over various locations, including Bestepe, Nufaru, and Tulcea, Romania. During these phases, the aircraft's altitude and location changed, with the aircraft climbing and descending to different altitudes and covering various distances.
The final approach to runway 34 at LRTC Tulcea Danube Delta Airport was conducted from the south, with the aircraft heading 346.0° at 0 nm and 108 ft above ground level (agl). The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 40 kt and a distance of 67 m. However, the touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 m from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C, a wind speed of 1 kt from 269°, and a crosswind of 1 kt. The total flight distance was 31 nm, and the flight duration was 21 minutes, with the aircraft using 8 kg of fuel.

The Savage Cub aircraft successfully landed at LRTC Tulcea Danube Delta Airport, achieving a score of 99.1%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 346.0° at an altitude of 108 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 34, which has a length of 1,991 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 42 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to flare earlier than expected. The touchdown distance of 67 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and touch down within a reasonable distance from the runway threshold.
Despite the good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 40 knots was reported as fast, suggesting that the aircraft may have been touching down with a higher speed than desired. However, the touchdown rate of -86 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touching down smoothly and safely.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's heading or a miscalculation of the runway alignment. However, this deviation did not appear to have any significant impact on the safety of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 0 knots. These conditions were relatively calm, which may have contributed to the smoothness of the landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and smoothly on the runway.
