The flight began with a departure roll from runway 34 at Cork Airport, EICK. The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 171 meters, which accounted for 8% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 78 knots, marking the start of the flight.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. The pilot navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern entry from runway 34, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 71 seconds.

The left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds. The pilot then proceeded to the pattern downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 3 nautical miles in 102 seconds.

The base leg turn was completed with a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg itself was covered in less than 1 nautical mile in 38 seconds. The final turn was executed in less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a final approach to runway 34 from the south.

The final approach was made at a heading of 340.0 degrees and an altitude of 507 feet above ground level, with the aircraft 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 34, which had a length of 2,119 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 80 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 177 meters, but the touchdown speed was slightly fast at 73 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -157 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 557 meters, accounting for 26% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.

After landing, the aircraft was taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 1 minute. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 34 at EICK Cork Airport in the PA28 Arrow III

Landing Score 98.8 %

Landing Summary

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 340.0° at 1 nautical mile and 507 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was on a steady course for a smooth landing on runway 34, which has a length of 2,119 meters.

Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft touched down at the correct point on the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 80 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown distance of 177 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent.

Despite the slightly high touchdown speed of 73 kt, the touchdown rate of -157 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as good, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively after touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady course and had not deviated from the centerline of the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 5°C and a wind speed of 11 kt from a direction of 40°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 9 kt and a headwind component of 5 kt. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and achieve a smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 557 meters was 26% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a high score and demonstrating good control over the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
