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.

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 1,067 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,067 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 102 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 95.7% is a great achievement and reflects the pilot's skill and precision during the various phases of the landing.
In the Approach Phase, although there were some issues with the glideslope alignment and speed being below target, these are minor areas that can easily be improved upon with practice and focus. It's important to ensure stable and accurate approach to set the stage for a successful landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's commendable that the threshold height and landing flare were executed excellently. These are crucial aspects of a safe and smooth landing, and it's clear that the pilot has a good grasp of these techniques.
The Touchdown Phase also had some impressive elements, such as the excellent touchdown rate and speed being on target. Additionally, the touchdown distance within the touchdown zone and the runway touchdown position being just 2.0 m from the centreline show great precision and control.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, while the runway alignment was slightly off at 3.4 m from the centreline, this is a minor deviation that can be easily corrected with practice. It's important to maintain alignment during the rollout phase to ensure a safe and straight landing.
Overall, this landing performance demonstrates strong skills and attention to detail. By continuing to focus on fine-tuning the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases, the pilot can further improve and strive for even higher scores in future landings. Keep up the great work and continue to hone your skills for even smoother and more precise landings in the future.
