Was out getting some windy weather practice, was a 12g20 day at my local field but right down the runway mostly, within my personal minimums. Was coming in to land when the wind shifted direction, and I sank like a rock. Gave it all the beans and did a go around, but man did it feel like I got low. Got back up to pattern altitude, decided to leave the pattern to calm my nerves before I tried again. Came back and came in with a steeper approach and landed uneventfully. Ran the track log through FlySto and this is the view of the track from the go-around… BELOW the level of the runway by the time the plane decided to climb. Never flying such a low approach path again in my Ercoupe.

Was returning home after a morning flight and ended up in the pattern with this plane. 19 was the active runway, but due to airport configuration they had to circle around to runway 1 to be able to access a taxiway off the runway. I got to circle and watch them land, then land myself and taxi behind them. Photos are from their departure on 19.
