Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 383 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Douglas DC-3 started at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport with a distance of 5 nm from parking to the runway. The duration of the flight was 25 minutes. The departure roll was from runway 07L, with a takeoff distance of 690 m, which was 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 77 kn, and the local weather at the time was 12 °C with a wind of 11 kn at 350°, resulting in a crosswind of 11 kn and a headwind of 2 kn.
The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of Bohnsdorf, climbing from 1,163 ft asl to 7,142 ft asl, covering a distance of 13 nm in 7 minutes. The enroute level cruise began 3 miles northeast of Spreenhagen, lasting 34 minutes and covering a distance of 89 nm. The enroute descent started 3 miles south of Grodzisk Wielkopolski, descending from 7,068 ft asl to 4,169 ft asl in 5 minutes over a distance of 14 nm.
After a brief enroute level cruise overhead Swiatniki, the aircraft started another climb 1 mile north of Kornik, climbing from 3,031 ft asl to 3,192 ft asl in 1 minute. The subsequent descent started 2 miles northeast of Kornik, descending from 3,210 ft asl to 2,583 ft asl in 1 minute over a distance of 2 nm.
The landing took place on runway 28 at EPPO Lawica, with a runway length of 2,483 m. The height at the threshold was 53 ft agl, and the speed at the threshold was 74 kn. The touchdown occurred 381 m from the threshold at a speed of 66 kn, with a VSI of -71 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing was 12 °C with a wind of 10 kn at 10°, resulting in a crosswind of 9 kn and a headwind of 1 kn. The total landing distance was 1,243 m, which was 50% of the runway length.
After landing, the distance to parking from the runway was less than 1 nm, and the duration of the taxi was 5 minutes. The total flight distance covered was 160 nm, taking 81 minutes and consuming 328 kg of fuel.
First and foremost, congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 94.2%! This is a clear reflection of your skill and precision as a pilot.
Let's delve into the different phases of the landing process to understand where you excelled and where there is room for improvement.
Starting with the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was described as excellent. This indicates that you were able to maintain a steady descent path towards the runway, which is crucial for a smooth landing. Additionally, having your speed slightly below target suggests that you were able to control your descent rate effectively without jeopardizing the safety of the landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your performance was commendable. Your threshold height was good, indicating that you initiated the descent at the appropriate altitude. The perfect landing flare indicates that you were able to smoothly transition from descent to a level approach just before touchdown, reducing the impact of the landing.
In the Touchdown Phase, several key metrics played a role in your high score. Firstly, your touchdown rate was excellent, showcasing your ability to land the aircraft smoothly and safely. The fact that your speed was on target further emphasizes your skill in managing the aircraft's descent. Additionally, touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone is a crucial metric, and the fact that you achieved a distance of 13.2m from the centerline shows a high level of precision in your landing.
Finally, the Rollout Phase indicates how well you were able to control the aircraft after touchdown. The fact that your runway alignment was 12.9m from the centerline suggests that you were able to maintain a straight path during the rollout phase, which is essential for safe taxiing and efficient runway clearance.
In conclusion, your overall landing performance was exceptional, with strong performances in each phase of the landing process. While there were some minor areas where improvements could be made, your overall score of 94.2% is a testament to your skill and proficiency as a pilot. Keep up the great work, and continue refining your techniques to ensure safe and successful landings in the future.
