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.

One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks at the point nearest 500 ft above the runway after the base turn. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,225 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 431 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Liverpool John Lennon Airport (EGGP) was a swift process, taking less than 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then proceeded to depart from runway 27, utilizing a takeoff distance of 408 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed of 68 knots was achieved in a timely manner, with the local weather conditions favoring a smooth takeoff. The temperature was a moderate 15°C, and the wind was minimal, blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 269°.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern from runway 27, it demonstrated a high level of agility, completing the maneuver in a distance of 2 nautical miles in just 14 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind was executed with equal precision, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The final approach to runway 09 was made from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 56.0° at an altitude of 696 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 09 was a successful one, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 54 knots and a distance of 430 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -112 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 720 meters accounted for 32% of the runway's length, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft's fuel consumption was minimal, with a total fuel usage of 1 kilogram for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 5 nautical miles in 4 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 09 at EGGP Liverpool John Lennon Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -112 fpm, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 54 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 430 m was good, considering the runway length of 2,224 m. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway.
As the aircraft rolled out, it maintained perfect alignment with the runway centerline, demonstrating excellent control and coordination. The total landing distance of 720 m, which accounted for 32% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. The threshold height at 69 ft agl was above the target, but the threshold speed of 76 kt was slightly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach profile.
Overall, the landing was considered good, with a score of 84.1%. The approach quality was satisfactory, despite the slight deviations from the target threshold height and speed. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 269 °, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
