This flight was conducted in an XCub aircraft, taking off from a location 1 mile northwest of Nanwalek, Alaska. The initial climb began at an altitude of 893 feet above sea level and continued until the aircraft reached 74 feet above sea level, resulting in a significant increase of 819 feet in just 2 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the Nanwalek Airport, it began its final approach to runway 19 from the northeast, heading in a direction of 204.0 degrees at an altitude of 47 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold, indicating a precise approach.
Upon landing, the XCub touched down on runway 19, which has a length of 576 meters. The threshold height was reported to be good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 49 knots. The touchdown distance was satisfactory at 33 meters, and the touchdown speed of 46 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, with a rate of -518 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 100 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The runway touchdown alignment was reported to be very good.
After landing, the aircraft rolled out along the runway, but its alignment was found to be misaligned by 17.5 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 148 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 1 nautical mile, and the flight duration was 2 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight.

The XCub aircraft successfully landed at KEB Nanwalek Airport, achieving a score of 88.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 204.0° at 0 nm and 47 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 19, which has a length of 576 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 49 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 33 meters, and the touchdown speed of 46 knots was also within acceptable limits. Unfortunately, the touchdown rate was quite hard, coming in at -518 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a need for adjustments in the landing technique.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were mild, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 3 knots at 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 148 meters was relatively short, accounting for only 26% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was not ideal, with the aircraft deviating from the centerline by 17.5 meters. This may indicate a slight loss of control during the rollout phase, which could be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's handling characteristics. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement to enhance the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance.
