The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Van's RV-8, then departed from runway 16 at Cork Airport (EICK). The takeoff distance was 98 meters, which accounted for only 5% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 68 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft through a left-hand pattern entry from runway 16, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 15 seconds.

The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 21 seconds, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg of the pattern was the longest, spanning 2 nautical miles in 56 seconds. The base leg turn involved a 45-degree angle to the runway, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg itself was completed in 40 seconds, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 16 was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 158.0 degrees at an altitude of 332 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 16, which had a length of 2,119 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 78 knots.

The touchdown point was 298 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 68 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -104 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a well-executed landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 169 degrees.

The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 19 knots. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 16 at EICK Cork Airport in the Van's RV-8

Landing Score 96.46 %

Landing Summary

The Van's RV-8 aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach to runway 16 was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 158.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 332 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,119 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, reaching 78 knots. This may indicate that the pilot had to make some adjustments to control the aircraft's descent and speed during the final approach.

The touchdown point was located 298 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which suggests that the pilot may have been slightly off-target in terms of landing position. The touchdown speed of 68 knots was also reported as a little fast, which could have contributed to the slightly off-target landing. Despite this, the touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -104 feet per minute (fpm).

One of the notable aspects of this landing was the perfect runway touchdown alignment, which indicates that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's direction and orientation during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 169°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision during the final approach and touchdown. However, there were some minor issues with speed and landing position that may be addressed in future training or practice.
