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 215 meters, which is 10% of the runway 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 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 50 degrees. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The pilot navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern entry from runway 34, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 50 seconds.

The left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds. The pilot then proceeded to the pattern downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 4 nautical miles in 146 seconds.

The base leg turn was completed next, with the aircraft covering a distance of 3 nautical miles and an angle of 38 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was 1 nautical mile long and took 47 seconds to complete. The final turn was executed, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds.

The final approach to runway 34 was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 343 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 699 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 76 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 148 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 70 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -117 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 50 degrees, with a crosswind component of 9 knots and a headwind component of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 566 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.

After landing, the aircraft was taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 2 minutes. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

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

Landing Score 99.01 %

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 south, heading 343.0° at 1 nautical mile and 699 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. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 76 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 148 meters, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent.

The touchdown speed of 70 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -117 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot was able to absorb the impact of the landing, reducing the stress on the aircraft and its occupants. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a smooth landing.

The total landing distance was 566 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The aircraft's performance was also good, with a smooth touchdown and a short landing distance.
