Far nicer than a glide is abeam the numbers fly a curved approach with a continual descent right onto the numbers
Or even worse which many wont approve if the circuits sparce if aircraft descend to a low level circuit and then start a curved approach onto the numbers
Another method : ) fly very tight down wind ( empty circuit ) 500 feet runway just below your left shoulder! As you pass the numbers tear drop while dropping gear adding flap and curve back onto the runway !
Great for poor weather low cloud and vis
Glide approaches boring ; )))
Not recommended ; ) down the runway at 20 feet at numbers far end turn 25 degrees while pulling up fairly sharp as speed bleeds to flap speeds add flaps and start descending turn back onto final !
They all work but many tut tuts
But as I spout precision flying energy management and drag management
