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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,164 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,032 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 95.7% is commendable and indicates a strong performance during the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, you did a good job of maintaining glideslope alignment, which is crucial for ensuring a smooth landing. This shows your attentiveness and skill in controlling the descent of the aircraft.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is evident that you had a successful landing flare and the threshold height was below target. This demonstrates your ability to judge the altitude accurately and execute a smooth touchdown. However, the touchdown rate was noted to be very hard, which may indicate the need to adjust your approach to achieve a softer landing in the future. Additionally, landing with a 13 kn tailwind is a risky maneuver and should be avoided as much as possible to ensure safe landings.
In the Touchdown Phase, your speed was slightly above target, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown. It is important to closely monitor and adjust your speed during the landing phase to achieve a more gentle touchdown. Despite this, the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being 1.9 m from the centerline show a good precision in landing placement.
As for the Rollout Phase, the slight deviation in runway alignment of 3.8 m from the centerline is worth noting. This could be improved by making small adjustments to maintain a straight path during rollout.
In conclusion, while your overall performance was strong with a high landing score, there are areas for improvement such as monitoring speed more closely, avoiding tailwinds, and ensuring precise alignment with the runway. Keep up the good work and continue to strive for excellence in your landings. With dedication and practice, you can further refine your skills and achieve even higher scores in the future. Great job!
