The XCub aircraft departed from runway 19 at U60 Big Creek Airport, a small airfield in Idaho, United States. The takeoff distance was 315 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 51 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of the airfield. The climb started at an altitude of 6,383 feet above sea level and continued to an altitude of 8,385 feet, an increase of 2,002 feet in just 3 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief enroute level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at 3U2 Johnson Creek Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading towards the runway at a bearing of 208.0 degrees. The approach was made at an altitude of 1,846 feet above ground level, and the aircraft was 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 17 was made at a speed of 69 knots, which was slightly higher than the threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 234 meters, and the touchdown speed was 58 knots, which was slightly faster than ideal. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -148 feet per minute. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 10.8 meters.
The total landing distance was 381 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 10.6 meters. Despite these minor issues, the landing was otherwise successful.
The total flight distance was 16 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 11 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the XCub aircraft performing well in a variety of conditions.

The XCub aircraft successfully landed at 3U2 Johnson Creek Airport, with a final approach from the north. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,846 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The pilot maintained a heading of 208.0°, which is aligned with the runway, and made a smooth touchdown on the runway.
However, there were a few areas for improvement in the landing. The threshold speed was too high at 69 knots, which may have resulted in a slightly longer landing distance. The touchdown speed of 58 knots was also faster than ideal, which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear. On the positive side, the touchdown distance was good at 234 meters, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -148 feet per minute.
The landing was also affected by the local weather conditions. The temperature was 15°C, and the wind was very light at 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component, but no headwind component. The runway length at 3U2 Johnson Creek Airport is 1,056 meters, which is sufficient for the XCub aircraft.
One of the notable issues with the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline. This may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout distance. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centerline. This could have made it more challenging for the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the XCub aircraft landed safely at 3U2 Johnson Creek Airport, but there are areas for improvement in terms of speed and alignment. With some adjustments to the pilot's technique, the landing could be made even smoother and more efficient.
