Landing on runway 01 at LSZA Lugano Airport in the XCub

Landing Score 91.76 %

Landing Summary

The XCub aircraft successfully landed at LSZA Lugano Airport, achieving a score of 91.8%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 20.0° at 0 nm and 77 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 01, which has a length of 1,025 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed at 45 kt was well below the target, indicating a cautious approach to avoid stalling. The touchdown distance of 274 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 32 kt was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -232 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 6 kt from 114°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 341 meters was 33% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.

The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the XCub aircraft demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases.
