Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 34 at EICK Cork Airport from the south was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 340.0° at 0 nm and 274 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 72 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 213 m was good, and the touchdown speed of 61 kt was also within the desired parameters.

The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a touchdown rate of -76 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind component of 2 kt was minimal, further reducing the risk of deviation from the intended path.

The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment on the runway. The total landing distance of 472 m, which accounted for only 22% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. Overall, the landing was scored 97.4%, a reflection of the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
