This flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Van's RV-8, then departed from runway 16 at Cork Airport (EICK). The takeoff distance was 257 meters, which accounted for 12% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 69 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 279 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Ballygarvan, a location in Munster, Ireland. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 984 feet above sea level to 1,393 feet, an increase of 409 feet, in just 1 minute and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. This phase began 1 mile north of Ballygarvan. The final approach to runway 16 at Cork Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 162.0 degrees at an altitude of 218 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of 10 feet above ground level. The aircraft then proceeded to land on runway 16, which had a length of 2,119 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 66 knots. The touchdown distance was 302 meters, and the touchdown speed was 59 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -64 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 279 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 517 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway length.
