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 1,181 meters, which was 56% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 76 knots, marking the start of the climb.

As the aircraft entered the local area, it encountered a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 170°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots. The pilot navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern, entering the circuit from runway 16. The distance covered during the entry was less than 1 nautical mile in 16 seconds.

The left-hand pattern continued with a crosswind turn, which was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The pilot then initiated a downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 93.7° to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long, taking 62 seconds to complete.

As the aircraft approached the base leg, the pilot initiated a turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 34.4° to the runway. The base leg was then completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 35 seconds. The final approach was made from the north, heading 159.0° at 1 nautical mile and 404 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 16 was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 70 knots, at 70 knots. The touchdown distance was 175 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 71 knots, and the touchdown rate was -186 feet per minute, which was considered good.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 409 meters, which was 19% of the runway's length. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, taking 5 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.
