Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to stay on the centreline during the ground roll.
What happened: You tracked 28 m right of the runway centreline during the ground roll, and this pattern of drift usually carries forward into a rightward heading deviation during the initial climb, as seen in the -5° variation through Climb 1.
Watch for: Heading indicator: hold runway heading through the climb.
Arrival
Level the wings with coordinated aileron on short final so bank stays near wings-level through touchdown.
What happened: Wings were not level through the landing phase, with bank angle at 1.9° on short final.
Watch for: Watch the bank angle indicator, holding it near wings-level through the landing and touchdown.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and glideslope 7.3° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,224 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,224 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 87 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The CubCrafters CC-19 XCub taxied to runway 25 at EDUR Hoherodskopf Airfield and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft lifted off after a take-off run of 312 m, representing 37 % of the runway, at a liftoff speed of 60 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 19 °C with wind from 5° at 8 kt, a 7 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt tail-wind component.
Climb began one mile west of the EDX1 Hoherodskopf Schotten waypoint. During the climb the aircraft rose from 2 384 ft asl to 2 482 ft asl, gaining 98 ft in one minute while covering one nautical mile.
Level cruise was established one mile south-east of Schotten and persisted for three minutes, during which the aircraft traversed seven nautical miles at a constant altitude.
Descent was initiated overhead Nidda, with the aircraft descending from 2 173 ft asl to 1 473 ft asl, a loss of 700 ft over three minutes while covering six nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield involved a descent from 1 268 ft agl to -327 ft agl in 86 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing occurred on runway 18, whose length is 1 224 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 57 kt. Touchdown was achieved 85 m down the runway at a speed of 52 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 113 fpm. The touchdown point was offset by 3.7 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 19 °C, wind from 5° at 8 kt, a 1 kt cross-wind and an 8 kt tail-wind. The total landing distance measured 405 m, equivalent to 33 % of the runway, and the threshold height was noted as good.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating the aircraft remained well centred during the deceleration phase.
In total the flight covered 18 nm, lasted 9 minutes and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield descended from 1,268 ft agl to -327 ft agl in 86 seconds and earned a score on the stabilisation gates.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 57 kt. Touchdown occurred 85 m down the runway with a speed of 52 kt, noted as a little fast, and a smooth vertical rate of -113 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline.
The touchdown phase therefore combined a good distance from the threshold with a modest excess in speed and a minor lateral offset.
Rollout covered a total landing distance of 405 m, representing 33 % of the 1,224 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
Refine flare timing to reduce touchdown speed toward the target and to improve lateral alignment within a few metres of the centreline, which will tighten the overall landing performance.
