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 1,148 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,148 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 316 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 departure roll on runway 28 at CZNG Poplar River. The takeoff distance was 216 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 72 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 7°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots coming from 310°. There was a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 12 knots during takeoff.
After takeoff, the enroute climb started overhead CZNG Poplar River in Manitoba, Canada. The aircraft climbed from 1,199 feet above sea level to 3,499 feet above sea level, marking an increase of 2,300 feet in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
Once the climb was completed, the flight entered into a level cruise phase 7 miles south of CZNG Poplar River. This part of the flight lasted 9 minutes and covered a distance of 25 nautical miles.
The landing took place on runway 27 at CYBV Berens River, which had a length of 1,148 meters. The height at the threshold of the runway was 34 feet above ground level, and the speed at the threshold was 72 knots. The touchdown occurred 314 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 65 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -229 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 8°C, with a wind speed of 21 knots coming from 330°. There was a crosswind of 18 knots and a headwind of 10 knots during the landing.
The total landing distance was 754 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway length at CYBV Berens River. The total flight distance from CZNG Poplar River to CYBV Berens River was 45 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 28 minutes. The flight consumed 93 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 87.2% is quite commendable!
In the Approach Phase, you had some areas of improvement with the descent path being above the glideslope limit, heading alignment being off, and the speed slightly below target. Maintaining a steady descent path, proper heading alignment, and hitting the target speed will greatly improve your approach phase for future flights.
During the Landing Phase, there were some mixed results. While you had a good threshold height and executed a perfect landing flare, there were issues with the landing heading and bank angle stability. Focusing on maintaining alignment and stability during the landing phase will help you achieve a smoother landing in future flights.
Moving on to the Touchdown Phase, you had a fair touchdown rate, on-target speed, and landed within the touchdown zone. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly off from the centerline. With practice, you can fine-tune your touchdown positioning for more precise landings.
Despite a 12 kn crosswind during landing, you managed it well, which is a notable achievement. Being able to handle crosswinds effectively is a crucial skill for pilots, and your performance in this regard is commendable.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was slightly off from the centerline. Paying attention to your alignment during rollout will help you improve your overall landing performance.
Overall, you demonstrated good skills in various aspects of the landing process. By focusing on the areas that need improvement and continuing to practice, you can further enhance your landing proficiency. Keep up the good work and continue striving for excellence in your flying skills!
