The flight in question was conducted in a Van's RV-8 aircraft, a high-performance, single-engine plane. The pilot successfully executed a go-around maneuver from runway 16 at Cork Airport (EICK), touching down at an altitude of just 8 feet above ground level (agl). This impressive display of control and precision was achieved despite the challenging conditions.
The final approach to runway 16 was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 341.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the threshold. At an altitude of 886 feet agl, the pilot expertly guided the aircraft towards the runway, taking advantage of the favorable wind conditions. The local weather was characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 160 degrees, resulting in a 13-knot headwind and no crosswind.
Upon landing, the pilot achieved a threshold speed of 68 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown distance of 374 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 64 knots was satisfactory. Most impressively, the touchdown rate was an excellent -85 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skill and attention to detail.
The total landing distance of 524 meters was a mere 25% of the runway length, which is a testament to the pilot's expertise in managing the aircraft's speed and altitude. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, showcasing the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of landing.
Following the landing, the pilot taxied the aircraft to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This rapid and efficient taxiing process highlights the pilot's familiarity with the airport and their ability to navigate the aircraft safely and quickly.
In terms of overall performance, the flight distance of 3 nautical miles was achieved in just 7 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1 kilogram. This impressive efficiency is a reflection of the pilot's skill and experience in operating the Van's RV-8 aircraft.

The Van's RV-8 aircraft successfully landed at EICK Cork Airport, achieving a score of 92.7%. The final approach to runway 16 was conducted from the south, with a heading of 341.0° at 1 nautical mile and 886 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down before the threshold, which is a desirable outcome as it allows for a shorter landing distance and reduces the risk of overrunning the runway.
The touchdown speed of 66 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown rate of -39 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe and successful landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was negligible, with a headwind of 13 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.
The landing on runway 16, which has a length of 2,119 meters, was executed well. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 68 knots was also within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 374 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 64 knots was also acceptable. The touchdown rate of -85 fpm was excellent, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a critical aspect of a safe and successful landing.
The total landing distance of 524 meters was 25% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed, and had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's roll-out after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach, touchdown, and roll-out. The score of 92.7% reflects the high level of proficiency and skill demonstrated by the pilot during this landing.
