Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 2,487 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 462 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Douglas DC-3 began with a 7-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering 2 nm. The departure roll on runway 10 at EPPO Lawica was 590 m, which was 24% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 87 knots. The local weather at the time indicated a temperature of 10°C, with a 3 knot wind coming from 29°, resulting in a 1 knot headwind and a 3 knot crosswind.
The enroute climb started 1 mile east of EPPO Lawica Poznan and saw the aircraft climb from 802 ft asl to 3,598 ft asl, reaching an altitude increase of 2,795 ft in 4 minutes and covering 7 nm. The enroute level cruise began overhead Rokietnica and lasted for 39 minutes, covering 86 nm.
Upon landing on runway 13 at EPSC Goleniow, the runway length was 2,487 m. The height at the threshold was 55 ft agl, with a speed of 83 knots. The touchdown point was 461 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 68 knots and a VSI of -206 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing showed a temperature of 12°C, with a 4 knot wind coming from 90°, resulting in a 3 knot crosswind and a 3 knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,118 m, which was 45% of the total runway length.
Following the landing, a 4-minute taxi from the runway to the parking area was conducted, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance for this journey was 108 nm, taking 56 minutes to complete and utilizing 216 kg of fuel.
Overall, the aircraft landing score of 94.3% indicates a very good performance during the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, the excellent glideslope alignment suggests that the pilot was able to closely follow the designated path for a smooth descent towards the runway. This is a critical aspect of the landing process as it helps ensure a safe and precise landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, while the threshold height was slightly above the target, the good landing flare suggests that the pilot was able to make a smooth transition from descent to touchdown. This is important for reducing the impact on the landing gear and ensuring a comfortable landing for passengers.
In the Touchdown Phase, the fair touchdown rate may indicate a slight room for improvement in terms of touchdown technique. However, the fact that the speed was on target and the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone are positive indicators of a well-executed landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position being 2.2 meters from the centerline demonstrates good alignment with the runway.
Lastly, during the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 13.0 meters from the centerline suggests that the aircraft maintained a steady course after touchdown. This is important for ensuring a safe and efficient rollout on the runway.
Overall, while there may be minor areas for improvement such as the threshold height and touchdown rate, the pilot's performance during the landing was commendable with key strengths in glideslope alignment, landing flare, speed control, and runway alignment. With continued practice and attention to detail, the pilot can further enhance their landing technique and achieve even higher scores in future flights.
