Improve the pattern base leg turn
Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

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 970 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 970 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 129 m 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 impressive and shows that you have a strong foundation in landing techniques. Let's break down each phase of the landing to further understand your strengths and areas for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for a smooth and controlled descent. However, the poor heading alignment and speed well above target are areas that can be improved upon. Ensuring that your heading is aligned properly and maintaining the appropriate speed throughout the approach will help set you up for success in the landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to see that you had a good threshold height and executed a perfect landing flare. These are key components of a successful landing and it's clear that you have a good grasp on these techniques. Keep up the good work in these areas.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was perfect, and you were able to make a touchdown within the touchdown zone. However, your speed was slightly above target, so focusing on maintaining the correct speed during this phase will help improve your overall landing performance. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 4.3 meters from the centerline is something to pay attention to for improved accuracy.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was slightly off at 5.8 meters from the centerline. This is an area where you can work on improving your alignment for a more precise landing.
Overall, your score of 95.7% reflects your strong abilities in various aspects of the landing process. By continuing to focus on maintaining proper alignment, speed control, and touchdown accuracy, you can further enhance your skills and achieve even higher landing scores in the future. Keep up the great work and continue striving for excellence in your aircraft landings!
