This flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, then departed from runway 16 at Cork Airport (EICK). The takeoff distance was 358 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 70 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 99 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The pilot successfully navigated a left-hand pattern entry from runway 16, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 35 seconds.

The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 30 seconds, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 58.5 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 87 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was the next maneuver, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles at an angle of 23.7 degrees to the runway. The final approach to runway 16 was made from the north, with a heading of 158.0 degrees at an altitude of 244 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing on runway 16 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 290 meters and a touchdown speed of 67 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was perfect at -39 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 100 degrees.

The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 3 knots. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight took approximately 9 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 16 at EICK Cork Airport in the PA28 Arrow III

Landing Score 98.96 %

Landing Summary

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a score of 99.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 158.0° at 1 nautical mile and 244 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a precise course for runway 16, which is 2,119 meters in length.

Upon landing, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 79 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother landing.

The touchdown distance of 290 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and land smoothly. However, the touchdown speed of 67 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft slightly too late.

The touchdown rate of -39 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway as it touched down.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: the temperature was 10°C, and the wind was 6 knots at 100°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control and land the aircraft safely and smoothly.
