The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16 at Cork Airport, EICK. The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 50 meters, which is just 2% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 72 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 6 knots at 100 degrees. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The pilot navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern, entering the circuit from runway 16. The entry was swift, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 27 seconds.
The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was similarly efficient, with the aircraft completing the turn in under 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds. The downwind leg of the pattern was a bit longer, covering 2 nautical miles in 66 seconds. As the aircraft approached the base leg, it turned through an angle of 45 degrees, with a bank angle of 11.0 degrees.
The final approach to runway 16 was made from the north, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 159.0 degrees at an altitude of 141 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 59 knots and a touchdown distance of 214 meters, which is just 18% of the runway's total length. The touchdown rate was excellent, at -59 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The post-landing rollout was also smooth, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment with the runway. The total landing distance was 378 meters, and the pilot used just 1 kilogram of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 4 nautical miles and took approximately 4 minutes to complete.

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a score of 99.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 159.0° at an altitude of 141 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, aligning itself perfectly with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, with a threshold speed of 68 knots and a touchdown speed of 59 knots. The touchdown distance of 214 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -59 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, showcasing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 10°C and a gentle wind of 6 knots from 100°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions allowed the pilot to maintain a stable approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 378 meters was only 18% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.
Overall, the PA28 Arrow III's landing at Cork Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing. The pilot's skill and experience were evident in the aircraft's smooth and controlled descent, and the landing was completed with minimal disturbance to the surrounding environment.
