Turning final, I set up myself with what is now my runway. About 5 miles out, I contacted Lawson Tower, which cleared me for a straight-in to Runway 15. It looked like I was still on a descent to touch down at the threshold on Runway 15. The wind blowing down the runway created a downdraft. More flaps.
