Improve the pattern crosswind leg
Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,730 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 299 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 29 at EKRK Copenhagen Roskilde Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 67 kt. The takeoff distance was 120 m, which accounted for 7% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 14 °C and a wind speed of 13 kt blowing from 310 °.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it made a smooth turn from runway 29, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nm in 12 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind was also navigated successfully, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 22 seconds. The downwind leg of the pattern was completed in 75 seconds, covering a distance of 2 nm. The base leg turn was executed at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nm.
The base leg of the pattern was completed in 24 seconds, after which the aircraft began its final approach to runway 29. The approach was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 294.0 ° at 1 nm and 449 ft above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 50 kt and a distance of 298 m. The touchdown rate was smooth at -131 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 415 m, which accounted for 24% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 5 nm, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used 2 kg of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills.
The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at EKRK Copenhagen Roskilde Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 294.0° at 1 nautical mile and 449 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 29.
The runway at EKRK Copenhagen Roskilde Airport is 1,730 meters long, providing a sufficient distance for the aircraft to touch down and come to a stop. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude when approaching the runway. The threshold speed of 68 knots was also well-managed, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the approach.
The touchdown distance of 298 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 50 knots was also good. The touchdown rate of -131 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touching down on the runway without any significant jolt. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 13 knots from 310°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions presented a moderate challenge for the pilot, but the aircraft was able to handle them successfully.
The total landing distance of 415 meters was 24% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control, precision, and handling throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed, altitude, and alignment was excellent, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
