Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 34 at EICK Cork Airport from the south was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 336.0° at 1 nm and 330 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering at 81 kt. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 290 m, indicating a well-executed flare. The touchdown speed of 69 kt was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -104 fpm was smooth, suggesting a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a wind of 8 kt at 30°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.

The total landing distance of 586 m, which accounted for 28% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was impressive, with a score of 98.2% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
