Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 48 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 82 kt, 34 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 48 kt at liftoff

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 for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.

Plan view — the full 463 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 90 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The XCub aircraft departed from runway 25 at Borkenberge Airfield, EDLB, with a takeoff distance of 23 meters, which is 5% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 82 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 262 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
After takeoff, the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 25, completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was also completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 27 seconds. The downwind turn was made at an angle of 65.8 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The downwind leg itself took 65 seconds to complete, also covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The base leg turn was made at an angle of 36.2 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 33 seconds. The final turn was made in less than 1 nautical mile in 44 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 25 from the east, heading 254.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,273 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 25 was successful, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 60 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 88 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 52 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -188 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 263 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 192 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, taking 6 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The XCub aircraft successfully landed at EDLB Borkenberge Airfield, achieving a score of 93.9%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 254.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,273 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 25, which has a length of 463 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 60 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, measuring 88 meters. The touchdown speed of 52 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -188 feet per minute (fpm) was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 263°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance was 192 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled during the approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the XCub aircraft demonstrated good handling and control during the approach and touchdown phases. The score of 93.9% reflects the high level of proficiency displayed by the pilot during this landing.
