The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, then departed from runway 34 at Cork Airport (EICK). The takeoff distance was 415 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 72 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The pilot successfully navigated a left-hand pattern entry from runway 34, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds.

The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 20 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, which involved a turn of 45 degrees at an angle of 68.8 degrees. This was followed by a pattern downwind leg, which covered a distance of 3 nautical miles in 132 seconds.

The pattern base leg turn was completed in 3 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees at 38.8 degrees. The pilot then flew the pattern base leg, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 45 seconds. The final turn was executed in less than 1 nautical mile in 25 seconds.

The final approach to runway 34 was made from the south, with a heading of 341.0 degrees at an altitude of 573 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 63 knots and a touchdown distance of 365 meters. The touchdown rate was excellent at -87 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 50 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 601 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.

The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, which was completed in 9 minutes. The aircraft used approximately 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

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

Landing Score 99.76 %

Landing Summary

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 341.0° at 2 nautical miles and 573 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, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 78 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control and speed management during the approach. The touchdown distance of 365 meters was also considered good, and the touchdown speed of 63 knots was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -87 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 50°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 10 knots and a headwind component of 4 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment, ensuring a safe and controlled landing.

The total landing distance of 601 meters was only 28% of the runway length, indicating a short and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and control during the landing. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance, resulting in a near-perfect score of 99.8%.
