Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 4.5 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 2.6° of bank in the first climb segment and 18° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 35 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 35 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and centreline 12.4° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 845 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 845 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 317 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The CubCrafters CC-19 XCub taxied to runway 18 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield and commenced the departure roll; the aircraft lifted off after a takeoff run of 233 m, representing 19 % of the runway, at a liftoff speed of 58 kt. Ambient conditions were 19 °C with a wind from 360° at 9 kt, a tailwind component of 9 kt and no cross-wind.
During the climb the airplane departed the vicinity of EDFB, climbing from 174 ft asl to 2 682 ft asl, a gain of 2 508 ft achieved in 4 minutes while covering 7 nm.
Level cruise began approximately 1 mile southeast of Nidda, Hessen, and was maintained for 5 minutes over a distance of 9 nm.
The final approach to runway 07 at EDUR Hoherodskopf Airfield involved a descent from 452 ft agl to minus 279 ft agl in 94 seconds, during which the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing was executed on runway 07, whose length is 845 m; the threshold height of 79 ft agl and the threshold speed of 66 kt were both above target. Touchdown occurred 312 m down the runway at a speed of 49 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 394 fpm, and the touchdown point was laterally displaced 35.6 m from the centreline.
Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 470 m, equivalent to 56 % of the runway, and the aircraft remained misaligned by 35.4 m from the centreline during the rollout.
In summary, the flight covered 18 nm, taking 11, and consumed 5 kg of fuel.
The CubCrafters CC19 XCub conducted the final approach to runway 07 at EDUR Hoherodskopf Airfield, descending from 452 ft agl to minus 279 ft agl in 94 seconds and receiving a score on the stabilisation gates.
At the threshold the aircraft was 79 ft agl, a height well above the target, and crossed the threshold at 66 kt, also well above the target speed.
Touchdown occurred 312 m down the runway with a speed of 49 kt, noted as a little fast, and a firm touchdown rate of minus 394 fpm; the touchdown point was excessively misaligned by 35.6 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total distance of 470 m, representing 56 % of the runway, and the aircraft remained significantly misaligned by 35.4 m from the centreline during rollout.
To improve the score, aim for the prescribed threshold height and speed to reduce excess altitude and velocity, and focus on maintaining centreline alignment through the flare and rollout to minimize lateral deviation.
