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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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 2,004 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,004 m of the 4,265 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 457 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Firstly, congratulations on achieving a landing score of 96.2%! That is a fantastic result and a testament to your skills as a pilot. Let's break down each phase of the landing and see where improvements can be made to get that score even higher.
In the Approach Phase, you had excellent glideslope alignment, which is crucial for a smooth and safe landing. It's great to see that you had good speed control, even if it was slightly above the target. This shows that you were aware of your approach speed and were able to make adjustments accordingly.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's positive to note that you had a good threshold height and a solid landing flare. These are key components of a successful landing, as they ensure a smooth transition from air to ground.
In the Touchdown Phase, there were a few areas that could be improved upon. The touchdown rate was noted as hard, which could indicate that you may have landed with a bit too much force. Additionally, having the speed slightly above the target and touchdown point 55m beyond the touchdown zone suggests that you may need to work on your timing and precision during this phase of the landing.
Furthermore, the fact that the runway touchdown position was 2.3m from the centerline highlights the importance of maintaining proper alignment during the touchdown phase. This is an area that can be refined with practice and attention to detail.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, it's positive to see that your runway alignment was very good. This demonstrates your ability to maintain control of the aircraft even after touchdown.
Overall, your performance during this landing was impressive, with strong points in the Approach and Landing Phases. By focusing on improving your touchdown technique, specifically in terms of rate, speed, and positioning, you can continue to refine your skills and ultimately achieve even higher landing scores. Keep up the great work and continue to strive for excellence in all aspects of your flying.
