Departure
Arrival
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 16 at Cork Airport, EICK. The aircraft, a Van's RV-8, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 466 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 78 knots, marking the start of the flight.
As the aircraft entered the local airspace, it encountered a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 220°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The pilot navigated the aircraft into a left-hand pattern, entering the circuit from runway 16. The distance covered during this maneuver was less than 1 nautical mile in just 11 seconds.
The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was slightly longer, taking 25 seconds to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg, where it maintained a steady pace, covering the same distance in 93 seconds.
As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 16, it was heading in a northerly direction at an altitude of 80 feet above ground level (agl) and at a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The pilot maintained a steady speed, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a threshold speed that was considered good at 68 knots.
The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, covering 251 meters, which accounted for 25% of the runway's length. However, the touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired at 64 knots. The aircraft's descent rate was excellent, with a rate of -57 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, maintaining a very good alignment. The total landing distance was 532 meters, which was again 25% of the runway's length. The pilot successfully brought the aircraft to a stop, using a total of 1 kilogram of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles and took approximately 3 minutes to complete.

The Van's RV-8 aircraft successfully landed at Cork Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach to runway 16 was conducted from the north, with a heading of 161.0° at an altitude of 80 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 68 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 251 meters was within acceptable limits, further highlighting the pilot's skill and control.
However, the touchdown speed of 64 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to flare slightly earlier than intended. Despite this, the touchdown rate of -57 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 0°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 220°, presented a moderate headwind and a slight crosswind component. The pilot effectively managed these conditions, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 532 meters was 25% of the runway length, which is a respectable achievement. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
