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 4,983 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 4,983 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 754 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your approach phase showed good heading alignment and speed control, but there was room for improvement in maintaining the descent path within the glideslope limit. During the landing phase, your threshold height was too low and the landing flare was poor. However, in the touchdown phase, your touchdown rate was firm and speed was above target, but the distance and runway alignment were very good. It's also worth noting that you managed to successfully land with a 14 knot crosswind, which is commendable.
To improve on your next landing, I recommend focusing on maintaining a consistent descent path within the glideslope limit during the approach phase, practicing proper landing flare technique, and aiming for a softer touchdown. Additionally, continue to work on maintaining runway alignment throughout the rollout phase. Keep up the good work and keep practicing to enhance your skills even further. Your efforts are definitely paying off!
