The flight began with a departure roll from runway 34 at Cork Airport, EICK. The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, accelerated down the runway, covering a takeoff distance of 182 meters, which accounted for 9% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 80 knots, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind of 10 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile north of the airport, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,080 feet above sea level to 1,487 feet, an increase of 406 feet, in less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place approximately 1 mile northwest of the airport. The final approach to runway 34 at EICK Cork Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 341.0 degrees at an altitude of 447 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 34 was executed with good results, with the touchdown distance being 299 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 69 knots was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind of 10 knots at 40 degrees, resulting in a crosswind component of 9 knots and a headwind component of 5 knots.
The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with the aircraft performing well in the given weather conditions.

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 341.0° at 1 nautical mile and 447 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a smooth landing on runway 34, which has a length of 2,119 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 80 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been a bit too aggressive in their approach. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 299 meters, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown speed of 69 kt was slightly faster than ideal, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to touch down a bit earlier than planned. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady course throughout the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 10 kt at 40°. The crosswind component was 9 kt, while the headwind component was 5 kt. These conditions were likely taken into account by the pilot during the approach, and their ability to adapt to the wind was evident in the smooth landing. Overall, the PA28 Arrow III aircraft performed well during the landing, and the pilot's skills were demonstrated through their ability to control the aircraft and navigate the challenging weather conditions.
