This 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 PA28 Arrow III, then departed from runway 16 at Cork Airport (EICK). The takeoff distance was 487 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 78 knots.
During the initial climb, the aircraft encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 17 °C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. After reaching a suitable altitude, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, flying overhead Ballygarvan in Munster, Ireland. This enroute phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it began its descent towards runway 16 at EICK Cork Airport from the north. The aircraft was at an altitude of 145 feet above ground level (agl) and was heading 147.0 degrees. However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of 97 feet agl, likely due to unsatisfactory conditions.
The aircraft then re-initiated its approach and landed successfully on runway 16. The runway length was 2,119 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 67 knots. The touchdown distance was 229 meters, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was 59 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at 3 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions during the landing phase were similar to those encountered during the initial climb, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 7 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 518 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a high score of 93.3%. The final approach to runway 16 was conducted from the north, with the aircraft heading 147.0° at 1 nautical mile and 145 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision, resulting in a perfect touchdown rate of 3 feet per minute (fpm).
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 67 knots, registering at 59 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control to maintain a stable approach and touchdown. The touchdown distance of 229 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely onto the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots at 220°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions presented a manageable challenge for the pilot, who successfully navigated the aircraft onto the runway.
The total landing distance of 518 meters was only 24% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing process.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance capabilities. The PA28 Arrow III's ability to navigate challenging weather conditions and maintain a stable approach and touchdown is a credit to its design and handling characteristics.
