The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16 at Cork Airport, EICK. The Van's RV-8 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 1,145 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 72 knots, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 21 knots from a direction of 230 degrees. The crosswind component was 19 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern entry from runway 16, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds.
The aircraft then proceeded to complete a left-hand pattern crosswind, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds. The pilot then entered the downwind leg of the pattern, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 95 seconds. The base leg turn was executed with an angle of 71.9 degrees to the runway, and the base leg itself was completed in 1 nautical mile in 77 seconds.
The final turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 32 seconds, and the aircraft began its final approach to runway 16 from the north, heading 161.0 degrees at an altitude of 109 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 69 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 163 meters.
The touchdown speed was 57 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions during the landing were similar to those encountered during takeoff, with a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 229 degrees.
The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 306 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes, during which the aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel.

The Van's RV-8 aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a high score of 95.9%. The final approach to runway 16 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 161.0° at an altitude of 109 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway surface.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 69 knots, but still within a safe margin. The touchdown distance of 163 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown speed of 57 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a gentle and controlled descent.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from 229°. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions may have presented some challenges for the pilot, but the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were able to overcome them.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was good, despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing path. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled descent, and the aircraft's design and performance were able to handle the challenging weather conditions.
