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 1,041 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 72 knots, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.

As the aircraft entered the local weather conditions, it was noted that the temperature was a chilly 1 degree Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots blowing from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The pilot successfully navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern entry from runway 16, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in just 11 seconds.

The aircraft then proceeded to complete a left-hand pattern crosswind, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds. The pilot then entered the downwind leg of the pattern, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 72 seconds. The base leg turn was completed with an angle of 46.0 degrees to the runway, and the base leg itself was covered in less than 1 nautical mile in 31 seconds. The final turn was completed in just 15 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a smooth final approach.

The final approach to runway 16 was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 162.0 degrees at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and 154 feet above ground level. The landing was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 63 knots, which was slightly faster than the threshold speed of 68 knots. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -119 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The total landing distance was 452 meters, which accounted for just 21% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

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

Landing Score 98.31 %

Landing Summary

The Van's RV-8 aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach to runway 16 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 162.0° at an altitude of 154 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, setting it up for a smooth touchdown.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 63 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 68 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 280 meters was well within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate of -119 feet per minute was also smooth, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a consistent heading and rate of descent throughout the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 219°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster touchdown speed.

The total landing distance of 452 meters was only 21% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The high score of 98.3% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in landing the Van's RV-8 aircraft at Cork Airport.
