Departing from the vicinity of Wolfersheim in Hessen, Germany, the XCub initiated its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 335 feet above sea level to 1,424 feet. This climb phase was characterized by a notable increase in altitude, reaching 1,088 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of approximately 3 nautical miles. The aircraft's rate of climb was impressive, demonstrating its ability to efficiently gain altitude in a short period.
As the XCub continued its journey, it began its enroute descent over Echzell, Hessen, Germany. The descent phase saw a decrease in altitude from 1,423 feet to 511 feet, a drop of 912 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This controlled descent allowed the aircraft to maintain a safe and stable approach to the destination airfield. Upon reaching the final approach phase, the XCub aligned itself with runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield, approaching from the south at a heading of 357.0°.
The XCub successfully landed on runway 36, with a touchdown distance of 196 meters, well within the available runway length of 1,230 meters. The touchdown speed of 50 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -190 feet per minute was satisfactory. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 9.4 meters. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots, contributed to a smooth landing. The total landing distance of 331 meters accounted for 27% of the available runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 9.2 meters. The XCub's performance during the flight was notable, with a total distance of 8 nautical miles covered in 4 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 3 kilograms.

The final approach to runway 36 at EDFB Reichelsheim Airfield from the south was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 357.0° at 0 nm and 101 ft above ground level. The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft onto the runway, landing on the 1,230 m long runway with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, reaching 64 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated good characteristics, with a touchdown speed of 50 kt and a touchdown rate of -190 fpm. The touchdown distance of 196 m was also within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 9.4 m. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind of 6 kt at 35°, contributed to a relatively calm environment, with a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 5 kt.
The total landing distance of 331 m, which accounted for 27% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 9.2 m. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 94.3%.
