Improve the pattern base leg
Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

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 1,317 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,317 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 258 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.00 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 93.1% is impressive! Let's break down the different phases of the landing and see how you can continue to improve in each area.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it seems that the descent path was slightly above the glideslope limit. This can often be corrected by adjusting the throttle or pitch to ensure a smooth descent. Your focus should be on maintaining a steady descent rate to ensure a more precise approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to see that your threshold height was slightly below the target. However, the landing flare could use some improvement. Make sure to maintain a gentle flare to ensure a smooth touchdown.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was excellent, and your speed was right on target. Touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone is a crucial factor, and it's great to see that you nailed it. Keep up the good work on this front.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, it's noted that runway alignment was very good. This is important for ensuring a safe and efficient landing. Continue to focus on maintaining proper alignment throughout the rollout phase.
Overall, your performance in each phase of the landing was strong, with areas for improvement in the descent path, landing flare, and future emphasis on maintaining proper alignment throughout the landing. With some minor adjustments and continued practice, you will surely see even higher scores in the future. Keep up the great work!
