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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,737 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 259 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the Douglas DC-6B began at CYHU Montreal/St-Hubert, where the distance from parking to the runway was 1nm. The duration of the flight was 14 minutes. The departure roll took place on runway 06L, with a takeoff distance of 1,021m (50% of the runway) and a liftoff speed of 112 knots. The local weather at departure was 15°C with a wind of 5 knots at 60°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
The enroute climb started 1 mile west of Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, climbing from 1,098 ft asl to 9,137 ft asl over a distance of 32nm, with a duration of 10 minutes. The enroute descent began 6 miles east of CSY3 Sorel Sorel, descending from 9,181 ft asl to 8,144 ft asl over a distance of 6nm in 1 minute.
The flight then entered a level cruise phase, starting 2 miles southeast of Pierreville and covering a distance of 16nm in 4 minutes. Another descent phase began 5 miles east of Nicolet, descending from 7,699 ft asl to 3,752 ft asl over a distance of 15nm in 4 minutes. This was followed by another level cruise phase, starting 10 miles east of Becancour and covering a distance of 29nm in 10 minutes.
The final descent phase started overhead Saint-Antoine-de-Tilly, descending from 3,453 ft asl to 1,834 ft asl over a distance of 5nm in 2 minutes. The landing took place on runway 06 at CYQB Quebec/Lesage Intl, with a touchdown point 258m from the threshold. The touchdown speed was 95 knots with a VSI of -225 ft/min. The total landing distance was 1,272m (46% of the runway) with a total flight distance of 113nm, using 916 kg of fuel. The local weather at the destination was 16°C with a wind of 5 knots at 60°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 4 knots.
Great job on achieving a landing score of 98.8%! Let's break down the different phases of the landing to see what went well and where there may be room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, it's fantastic to hear that the glideslope alignment was excellent. This indicates that you were able to maintain the correct descent angle throughout the final approach, setting you up for a successful landing. Additionally, having a slightly higher speed than the target is not a major concern, as long as it's within a reasonable range.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to hear that the threshold height was good and that you executed a perfect landing flare. A well-executed flare is crucial for achieving a smooth touchdown, so it's commendable that you were able to accomplish this successfully.
In the Touchdown Phase, while the touchdown rate was fair and the speed was slightly above target, it's positive to note that the touchdown distance was inside the touchdown zone. This demonstrates good control and situational awareness during the critical moment of touchdown. Additionally, landing just 3.6 meters from the centerline shows good precision in aligning the aircraft with the runway.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, maintaining a runway alignment of 4.7 meters from the centerline is generally acceptable, although striving for even greater precision in this area can further enhance your overall landing performance.
Overall, your landing performance was excellent, with key areas such as glideslope alignment, landing flare, and runway alignment showing strong proficiency. Keep up the good work and continue to refine your skills in each phase of the landing to strive for perfection. Each successful landing brings you closer to becoming a highly skilled and proficient pilot. Great job on your accomplishment!
