Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Cork Airport (EICK) took approximately 7 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 34, utilizing 54% of the 2,119-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 77 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 30 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind component of 7 knots and a headwind component of 6 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 18 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in 21 seconds, with the aircraft then proceeding to the downwind leg. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 96.9 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself spanned 2 nautical miles in 64 seconds. Following the base leg turn, the aircraft then began its final approach to runway 34 from the south, maintaining a heading of 340.0 degrees at an altitude of 235 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.

The aircraft landed on runway 34, with the touchdown point located 82 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 61 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -112 feet per minute was smooth. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters. The total landing distance of 607 meters accounted for 29% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance of 9 nautical miles was achieved in 7 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 3 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 34 at EICK Cork Airport from the south was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 340.0° at 1 nm and 235 ft above ground level. The approach was conducted in a 2,119 m runway environment, with a good threshold height allowing for a stable and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 75 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed.

The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown speed of 61 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of -112 fpm. However, the touchdown point was 82 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 4.2 m from the centreline, although the rollout alignment was very good. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a wind of 8 kt at 30°, contributed to a relatively calm environment, with a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 5 kt.

The total landing distance of 607 m was 29% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Overall, the landing was scored 96.7%, reflecting a good performance in terms of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout alignment. However, the slight deviations in threshold speed and touchdown point alignment prevented a perfect score.
