The XCub aircraft departed from runway 19 at KEB Nanwalek Airport, taking off in a distance of 215 meters, which is 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 69 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots coming from 171 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 19, completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 11 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn from the left-hand pattern took 31 seconds to complete, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a heading of 118.8 degrees.

Upon completing the downwind turn, the aircraft began its downwind leg, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 2 seconds. The aircraft then lined up for landing on runway 01, which has a length of 576 meters. The threshold height at 79 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 81 knots.

The aircraft touched down at a speed of 53 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was fair at -252 feet per minute. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.

The total landing distance was 533 meters, which is 93% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll. The total flight distance was 1 nautical mile, and the flight used 4 kilograms of fuel, taking a total of 7 minutes to complete.

Landing on runway 01 at KEB Nanwalek Airport in the XCub

Landing Score 63.33 %

Landing Summary

The XCub aircraft successfully landed on runway 01 at KEB Nanwalek Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The aircraft scored 63.3%, indicating room for improvement in various aspects of the landing. One of the notable issues was the threshold height, which was significantly above the target height. This could have been due to the aircraft's altitude at the threshold, and it's essential to maintain a consistent approach path to ensure a smooth touchdown.

The threshold speed was another area of concern, as it was excessively high at 81 kt. This could have resulted in a longer landing distance and increased the risk of overshooting the runway. The touchdown point was indeed very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This could have been avoided if the pilot had managed to touch down closer to the threshold, reducing the landing distance and increasing the margin for error.

On a positive note, the touchdown speed of 53 kt was good, indicating that the pilot had managed to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. The touchdown rate of -252 fpm was fair, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a relatively smooth descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 m from the centreline, which could have been avoided with better alignment during the approach.

The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 °C, did not seem to have any significant impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 533 m was 93% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had managed to control the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown point alignment to achieve a more efficient and safe landing.
