The XCub aircraft departed from Courchevel Altiport, located in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France, on runway 04. The takeoff roll was smooth, covering a distance of 109 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 59 knots, reaching the desired altitude quickly.

As the aircraft entered the enroute level cruise phase, it flew overhead Courchevel, maintaining a steady altitude for 2 minutes while covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This brief period of level flight allowed the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and adjust the flight plan accordingly.

The final approach to runway 22 at Courchevel Altiport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading towards the runway at a bearing of 225.0 degrees. The approach was made at an altitude of 150 feet above ground level, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nautical mile before touching down on the runway.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 46 knots and a rate of descent of 723 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was good, covering a distance of 185 meters, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.6 meters. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from 350 degrees, contributed to a slight tailwind of 4 knots.

After touchdown, the aircraft rolled out of the runway, with the rollout alignment slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.7 meters. The total landing distance covered was 385 meters, accounting for 71% of the runway length. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel for the entire flight, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

Landing on runway 22 at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport in the XCub

Landing Score 84.95 %

Landing Summary

The XCub aircraft successfully landed at LFLJ Courchevel Altiport, achieving an overall score of 85.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 225.0° at 1 nautical mile and 150 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 22, which has a length of 545 meters.

The threshold height at 64 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed of 60 knots was only slightly above the target, suggesting that the pilot maintained a good control of the aircraft's descent rate. The touchdown distance of 185 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 46 knots was also within acceptable limits.

One of the key performance indicators was the touchdown rate, which was perfect at 723 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot managed to control the aircraft's descent rate effectively, resulting in a smooth touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.6 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the pilot's approach technique.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 350°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but they did not seem to have a significant impact on the landing performance.

The total landing distance of 385 meters was 71% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, which may indicate some issues with the pilot's control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there are some areas for improvement that the pilot can work on to achieve a higher score.
