Departure
Arrival
The XCub departed from a point 1 mile north of Yarra Glen, State of Victoria, Australia, initiating an enroute climb. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 1,197 ft above sea level to the same altitude, achieving a negligible increase of 0 ft in just 1 minute while covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This brief climb phase set the stage for the subsequent approach to YLIL Lilydale Airport.
As the XCub began its final approach to runway 18R from the north, it maintained a heading of 180.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. At an altitude of 1,042 ft above ground level, the aircraft was well-positioned for a smooth touchdown. However, the threshold height at 67 ft above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed of 66 kt was also well above the desired value. Despite these minor deviations, the touchdown point was 97 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. The touchdown speed of 49 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -98 ft/min was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible at 1 kt, and the headwind was effectively zero. The total flight distance of 3 nautical miles was covered in 2 minutes, with a fuel consumption of approximately 1 kg. The XCub's performance during the approach and landing phases was satisfactory, with a perfect runway touchdown alignment and a controlled touchdown.

The final approach to runway 18R at YLIL Lilydale Airport from the north was executed with a heading of 180.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,042 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 67 feet above ground level being above the target. This resulted in a slightly higher than ideal approach path angle, which was compensated for by the pilot's skillful management of the aircraft's descent.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the threshold speed of 66 knots was well above the target, indicating a slightly longer than ideal landing roll. However, the touchdown speed of 49 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -98 feet per minute was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.
The rollout phase was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout. The touchdown point was 97 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly beyond the ideal location. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 82.6%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 1 knot at 270°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
