The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16 at Cork Airport, EICK. The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, required a takeoff distance of 117 meters, which is just 6% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 70 knots, marking the start of the flight.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 10 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 8 knots blowing from a direction of 70 degrees. The crosswind component was also 8 knots, while the headwind component was negligible at 0 knots. The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from the runway, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in just 26 seconds.
The aircraft continued to follow the left-hand pattern, with the crosswind leg taking a slightly longer distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 28 seconds. The downwind leg of the pattern covered a distance of 3 nautical miles in 105 seconds, providing the pilot with ample time to assess the aircraft's performance and the surrounding environment.
As the aircraft began its base leg turn, it covered a distance of 2 nautical miles while turning at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The pilot then lined up for a final approach to runway 16, flying at a heading of 159.0 degrees and at an altitude of 596 feet above ground level, just 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 60 knots and a distance of 369 meters. The touchdown rate was an impressive -61 feet per minute, indicating a very controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady and accurate approach.
In terms of fuel consumption, the flight used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel to cover a distance of 6 nautical miles, taking a total of 5 minutes to complete. Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and controlled maneuvers, with the pilot demonstrating excellent handling skills and a deep understanding of the aircraft's performance.

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport (EICK) with a score of 95.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 159.0° at 1 nautical mile and 596 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a smooth landing on runway 16, which has a length of 2,119 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 74 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating that the pilot had maintained a safe and controlled approach speed. The touchdown distance of 369 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 60 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -61 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot had maintained a high degree of control and precision throughout the approach, resulting in a very smooth and gentle touchdown. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 70°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 8 knots, but no headwind component. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and smoothly in these conditions is a testament to their skill and experience. Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a safe and controlled approach and landing.
