Departure
Arrival
Departing from Reichelsheim Airfield (EDFB), the XCub aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 36. The aircraft accelerated smoothly, eventually lifting off the ground at a liftoff speed of 88 kt. The takeoff distance of 422 m, which accounted for 34% of the available runway, was well within the aircraft's performance capabilities. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 7 °C, with a wind blowing at 15 kt from a direction of 306 °. This resulted in a crosswind component of 12 kt and a headwind component of 9 kt.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute phase, it began its descent from an altitude of 1,560 ft above sea level (asl) to 670 ft asl. This descent, which covered a distance of 2 nm, was completed in 2 minutes, resulting in a decrease of 890 ft. The aircraft's rate of descent during this phase was not specified, but the controlled manner in which the descent was executed suggests that the pilot maintained a steady and deliberate rate of descent. The local weather conditions remained relatively consistent, with a temperature of 6 °C and a wind blowing at 10 kt from a direction of 302 °.
As the aircraft approached the landing site, located 1 mile north east of Wolfersheim, it began its final descent from an altitude of 31 ft above ground level (agl) to 0 ft agl. This final descent, which covered a distance of approximately 1 mile, was completed in 6 seconds, resulting in a touchdown speed of 48 kt and a firm touchdown rate of -388 fpm. The touchdown distance of 238 m was also well within the aircraft's performance capabilities. The total flight distance of 8 nm was completed in 5 minutes, and the aircraft used a total of 3 kg of fuel during the flight.
