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 1,913 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,913 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 539 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Pesim FPV Drone Racer took off from runway 20 at UKRB Krasny Yar Airport, covering a distance of 844 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 70 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 12 °F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 122 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and no headwind.
After takeoff, the drone entered a left-hand pattern, completing the entry in less than 1 nautical mile in 34 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in under 1 nautical mile in 18 seconds. The drone then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn angle of 1.8 degrees.
As the drone continued its approach, it entered the downwind leg, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 4 seconds. The final approach was made to runway 02 from the southwest, heading at 30.0 degrees, at an altitude of 590 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The drone landed successfully on runway 02, which had a length of 1,913 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 76 knots. The touchdown distance was 531 feet, and the touchdown speed was 68 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was an excellent -52 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 11 °F and a wind speed of 5 knots at 123 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and no headwind. The total landing distance was 1,066 feet, accounting for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight used -1 pound of fuel.
The Pesim FPV Drone Racer successfully completed a landing at UKRB Krasny Yar Airport, showcasing impressive piloting skills. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 30.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 590 feet above ground level (agl). This approach angle and distance allowed the pilot to maintain a stable and controlled descent.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 76 knots, which is considered good for the conditions. The touchdown distance of 531 feet was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown speed of 68 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
One of the standout aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -52 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with minimal impact, reducing the risk of damage or disruption to the surrounding environment. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's descent and orientation.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 11°F and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 123°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots, but no headwind, which made the landing slightly more challenging. However, the pilot was able to adapt to these conditions and execute a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,066 feet was 56% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's speed and descent, allowing for a quick and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's orientation and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, this landing demonstrates the Pesim FPV Drone Racer's capabilities and the pilot's exceptional skills in executing a controlled and efficient landing.
