This flight was conducted in an XCub aircraft, taking off from a location near Nanwalek, Alaska, United States. The initial climb phase began with the aircraft lifting off from a height of 87 feet above sea level and ascending to 1,360 feet above sea level, a vertical gain of 1,273 feet, in just one minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a horizontal distance of 3 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, which lasted for three minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. This phase was initiated 2 miles northwest of Nanwalek.
Upon approaching the KEB Nanwalek Airport, the aircraft began its descent and touched down on runway 01. The runway has a length of 576 meters. However, the threshold height at 59 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 76 knots.
The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was also faster than desired, and the touchdown rate was hard, with a descent rate of -474 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.7 meters.
The local weather conditions during the flight were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. Despite the challenging landing conditions, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance covered was 414 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway length.
The flight itself was relatively short, covering a total distance of 5 nautical miles and lasting four minutes. The aircraft consumed 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

The XCub aircraft successfully landed on runway 01 at KEB Nanwalek Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft scored 74.1%, indicating a decent performance but room for improvement. The threshold height at 59 ft above ground level (agl) was slightly above the target, which may have contributed to the slightly higher than ideal touchdown speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft used more than 50% of the available runway, which is a significant portion of the 576-meter runway. The touchdown speed of 60 kt was also faster than ideal, and the touchdown rate was hard at -474 fpm. This suggests that the pilot may have been applying too much braking force, which could have resulted in a harder landing than necessary.
In addition to the technical issues, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's alignment during the landing.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 25 °C, which is relatively mild and should not have affected the landing performance. However, the high threshold speed of 76 kt may have been a contributing factor to the issues experienced during the landing.
Despite the challenges, the aircraft's runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 414 meters was 72% of the available runway, which is a reasonable distance considering the issues experienced during the landing.
Overall, the landing was not perfect, but it was still a safe and controlled touchdown. The pilot and the aircraft's performance can be improved with further training and practice, particularly in terms of managing touchdown speed and rate, and maintaining alignment during the landing phase.
