Avoid steep turns at low altitude
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,504 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 262 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 97.4% is an impressive result, indicating a high level of skill and proficiency in the various phases of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, the excellent glideslope alignment suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a steady and controlled descent towards the runway. This is a critical aspect of the landing process as it ensures a smooth transition from the approach to the landing phase.
In the Landing Phase, the good threshold height and landing flare demonstrate a good understanding of the aircraft's position relative to the runway, allowing for a timely and accurate touchdown. While the touchdown rate was noted to be very hard, the fact that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position was only slightly off centerline indicates a successful touchdown under challenging conditions.
It is worth noting that the aircraft landed with a 4 kn tailwind, which can present additional challenges during the landing process. Despite this, the pilot was able to successfully bring the aircraft to the ground with minimal issues.
During the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment slightly off centerline may have impacted the overall landing score. However, with a strong overall performance in other key areas, this minor deviation is unlikely to have a significant impact on the overall assessment.
Overall, this landing performance demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency on the part of the pilot. With continued practice and attention to detail, there is potential for even further improvement in future landings. Keep up the good work and continue striving for excellence in every aspect of your flying.
