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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,193 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 244 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at EHTE Teuge Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 56 kt. The takeoff distance was 73 m, which accounted for only 6% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a slight tailwind.
As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern from runway 08, it quickly established a steady course, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 157 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind leg was slightly shorter, covering a distance of 1 nm in 63 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, which took it 3 nm away from the runway, at an angle of 45 degrees and a turn radius of 5.0 °.
After completing the downwind turn, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 26, which was located to the east. The aircraft was flying at a heading of 287.0 ° and was 3 nm away from the runway at an altitude of 1,045 ft. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 51 kt and a distance of 242 m, which was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also perfect, at -42 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a slight headwind. The total landing distance was 794 m, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 1 minute. The total flight distance was 6 nm, and the flight duration was 9 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, indicating a highly efficient operation.
The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at EHTE Teuge Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 287.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,045 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 26, which has a length of 1,193 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 61 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 242 meters, and the touchdown speed of 51 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -42 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down.
The total landing distance of 794 meters was 67% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the landing conditions. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating excellent handling and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
