Gliding - Approach planning and landings - early lessons

This compilation is mainly focused on circuit approach and landings. It was taking me a while to understand the visual cues to watch and look for to establish a controlled speed and glide slope. When you're learning, there is a lot to try and absorb and interpret from the instructor and I found it really useful to review the process and instruction at leisure after the fact! I had a tendency to fly the circuit too fast and end up over shooting the initial aiming point.
The airfield is at Papawai, near Greytown, New Zealand.
