Hold the approach angle
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 1,667 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 368 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 with a taxi from the parking area to the runway at EFHK Vantaa, which took 8 minutes and covered 2 nm. The departure was from runway 15, with a takeoff distance of 521 m (18% of the runway). The liftoff speed was 69 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 19 °C, with a wind of 10 kn at 170°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 kn and a headwind of 9 kn.
The enroute climb began 1 mile west of Vantaa and took the aircraft from 764 ft asl to 1,679 ft asl, covering 2 nm in 1 minute. The level cruise started 1 mile south of EFHK Vantaa and lasted less than 1 minute, covering 1 nm.
Another climb occurred 2 miles north of Kaarela, taking the aircraft from 1,708 ft asl to 6,455 ft asl in 7 minutes, covering 15 nm. The subsequent level cruise began 3 miles south east of EFNU Nummela Nummela and lasted 75 minutes, covering 193 nm.
The descent started 2 miles east of Vallentuna, taking the aircraft from 6,062 ft asl to 2,256 ft asl in 6 minutes, covering 16 nm. A short level cruise began 3 miles south east of Raby, lasting 6 minutes and covering 7 nm. The next descent started 1 mile west of Jakobsberg, dropping from 2,109 ft asl to 1,079 ft asl in 3 minutes, covering 3 nm. A brief level cruise followed, starting 1 mile west of Tensta and covering less than 1 nm.
The landing took place on runway 12 at ESSB Bromma, with a length of 1,667 m. The aircraft touched down 365 m from the threshold, at a speed of 64 kn and a VSI of -100 ft/m. The total landing distance was 1,025 m (61% of the runway length). The weather at the destination was 15 °C, with a wind of 8 kn at 180°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 kn and a headwind of 4 kn.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 244 nm, took 112 minutes, and required 450 kg of fuel.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 92.0% is a commendable achievement! Let's break down the different phases of the landing to understand where improvements can be made.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it's important to address the poor descent path above the glideslope limit. This can be improved by paying closer attention to your vertical speed during descent and making small adjustments to stay on the correct path. Additionally, ensuring that your speed is closer to the target can help with a smoother descent.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to see that you had good threshold height and a great landing flare. These are key aspects of a successful landing, so keep up the good work in these areas.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was excellent and your speed was on target. It's also impressive that your touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone and your runway touchdown position was only 5.7 meters from the centreline. This indicates a high level of precision in your landing, which is very impressive.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, it's worth noting that your runway alignment was 12.9 meters from the centreline. While this is a bit off the mark, it's still within an acceptable range. Paying attention to your alignment during rollout can help improve this aspect of your landing.
Overall, your performance in each phase of the landing is strong, with some areas for improvement to reach an even higher score. Keep practicing and focusing on maintaining a smooth descent path, precise touchdown, and accurate alignment to continue improving your landing skills. With your dedication and attention to detail, I have no doubt that you will continue to excel in your aircraft landings. Great job!
