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 distance of 150 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 78 knots, marking the start of the flight.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at a direction of 40 degrees. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The pilot navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern, entering the circuit from runway 34. The distance covered during this phase was less than 1 nautical mile in 44 seconds.

The left-hand pattern continued with a crosswind turn, which was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds. The pilot then executed a downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 71.6 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 65 seconds to complete.

As the aircraft approached the base leg, the pilot executed a turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 49.7 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 39 seconds to complete. The final turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 18 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a final approach to runway 34.

The final approach was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 341.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 372 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 34, which had a length of 2,119 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 80 knots.

The touchdown distance was good, covering 284 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 69 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -60 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

The total landing distance was 448 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight took 5 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 34 at EICK Cork Airport in the PA28 Arrow III

Landing Score 99.4 %

Landing Summary

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a score of 99.4%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 341.0° at 1 nautical mile and 372 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down 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 height as it approached the runway threshold. 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 284 meters, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing.

The touchdown speed of 69 kt was slightly faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -60 fpm was excellent, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down quickly and smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 11 kt from a direction of 40°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 kt and a headwind of 5 kt. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach.

The total landing distance was 448 meters, which is 21% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
