This flight was conducted in a PA28 Arrow III aircraft, departing from runway 16 at Cork Airport (EICK). The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll, taking off from the runway with a takeoff distance of 425 meters, which is 20% of the runway length.

During takeoff, the aircraft reached a liftoff speed of 76 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 69 degrees. There was a crosswind of 8 knots, but no headwind.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, turning from the runway and heading towards the downwind leg. The distance covered during this turn was less than 1 nautical mile, and it took approximately 16 seconds to complete. The aircraft then continued on the downwind leg, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 66 seconds.

As the aircraft approached the base leg, it turned towards the runway, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway. The distance covered during this turn was 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its base leg, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 40 seconds. The final turn towards the runway was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 25 seconds.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 16, heading towards the runway from the north at a height of 554 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots from a direction of 69 degrees, with a crosswind of 8 knots and no headwind.

The aircraft landed on the runway with a touchdown speed of 65 knots, which was slightly below the target speed of 76 knots. The touchdown distance was 249 meters, which is a good distance considering the runway length. The touchdown rate was perfect at -43 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The total landing distance was 634 meters, which is 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight took approximately 9 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
