The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16 at Cork Airport, EICK. The Van's RV-8 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 151 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway's 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 with a temperature of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 230 degrees. The crosswind component was 11 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The pilot navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern entry from runway 16, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds.
The left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed with ease, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 19 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 2 nautical miles in 74 seconds.
As the aircraft approached the base leg, the pilot executed a turn with a 45-degree angle to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 50 seconds. The final turn was also executed in less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a final approach to runway 16 from the north.
The final approach was made at a heading of 163.0 degrees and an altitude of 125 feet above ground level, with the aircraft positioned at 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 16 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 445 meters and a touchdown speed of 38 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -305 feet per minute.
However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 10.9 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 230 degrees, with a crosswind component of 16 knots and a headwind component of 6 knots.
The flight was completed with a total distance of 4 nautical miles, taking 4 minutes to cover the distance. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

Flaps Fully Retracted at 17:04:13 |
The Van's RV-8 aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a score of 90.2%. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 163.0° at an altitude of 125 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 445 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 38 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -305 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a slightly steeper than ideal descent.
One notable aspect of the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 10.9 meters. This may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall safety of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 230°. This resulted in a crosswind of 16 knots and a headwind of 6 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway and coming to a stop without incident. However, the misaligned touchdown position and firm touchdown rate suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement in the pilot's technique and decision-making.
