Departing from Düsseldorf Airport (EDDL), the aircraft began its journey on runway 23L, where it accelerated to liftoff speed of 56 kt in a takeoff distance of 1,035 ft, which represented 13% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 60 °F and a moderate wind of 10 kt from 11 °, resulting in a crosswind of 7 kt and a tailwind of 7 kt.

Following a brief enroute level cruise that lasted 21 minutes and covered 41 nm, the aircraft commenced its final approach to runway 13R at Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK) from the north-west. However, a go-around was initiated at 769 ft agl due to an unidentified reason. The aircraft subsequently executed a successful landing on the same runway, with a touchdown speed of 45 kt and a touchdown rate of -73 fpm, both of which were considered excellent. The total landing distance of 1,970 ft represented 32% of the available runway length, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good, albeit with a slight misalignment of 38 ft from the centreline during the rollout.

The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in approximately 2 minutes. The total flight distance of 49 nm was completed in 28 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 27 lbs. The flight's performance was influenced by the local weather conditions, which remained relatively consistent throughout, with a temperature of 59 °F and a moderate wind of 10 kt from 11 ° at the time of landing.

Landing on runway 13R at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport in the XCub

Landing Score 87.73 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 13R at EDDK Cologne Bonn Airport with a threshold height of 63 ft agl, exceeding the target height. The threshold speed of 53 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 1,498 ft was good, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown speed of 45 kt was also good, and the touchdown rate of -73 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft tracking the centreline closely. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a wind of 10 kt at 11 °, presented a moderate crosswind component of 8 kt and a tailwind component of 6 kt. The pilot successfully managed these conditions to achieve a good touchdown. The total landing distance of 1,970 ft, which accounted for 32% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.

The rollout phase was slightly marred by a misalignment of 38 ft from the centreline, but overall, the landing was well-executed. The score of 87.7% reflects a high level of proficiency and control, with only minor deviations from the ideal performance. The pilot demonstrated a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and the wind conditions, and was able to adapt to the situation to achieve a safe and controlled landing.
