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 2,794 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 76 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 LJLJ Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, where the aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The departure roll took place on runway 12, with a takeoff distance of 515 meters, which was 16% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 72 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 16°C, with a wind speed of 5 knots coming from 123°.
The enroute climb began over Lahovce, climbing from 2,197 ft above sea level to 5,915 ft, gaining 3,718 ft in altitude in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 9 nm. The enroute level cruise started over Vinje and lasted 27 minutes, covering 33 nm.
The landing took place on runway 09 at LIPQ Trieste–Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport, which has a runway length of 2,794 meters. The height at the threshold was 11 ft above ground level, and the speed at the threshold was 65 knots. The touchdown occurred 73 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 63 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -168 ft/min. The local weather at the time of landing was 21°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots coming from 25°.
The total landing distance was 530 meters, which was 19% of the runway length. After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 74 nm, with a total flight time of 64 minutes. The flight used 212 kg of fuel.
Congratulations on earning a impressive aircraft landing score of 91.5%! Let's break down the different phases of the landing to see where you excelled and where there is room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, which indicates a strong ability to properly control the descent of the aircraft towards the runway. However, it seems that your speed was a little below the target, which could be something to focus on in future landings to ensure a smoother approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it's great to see that you had a good threshold height and executed a perfect landing flare. This shows that you have a good understanding of when and how to reduce the descent rate before touchdown, leading to a smooth and controlled landing. Your touchdown rate was also good, and maintaining the proper speed during this phase is crucial - in this case, you were on target.
In the Touchdown Phase, you were able to touch down within the touchdown zone, which is a sign of precision and skill. Additionally, your touchdown speed was on target, contributing to a safe and well-executed landing. It's worth noting that your runway touchdown position was 5.7 meters from the centerline, which is a good indication of your ability to maintain proper alignment during this critical phase.
Finally, during the Rollout Phase, you managed to keep the aircraft relatively close to the centerline, with a runway alignment of 17.8 meters. While there is some room for improvement in this area, overall, this phase seems to have been executed well.
Overall, your landing performance is highly commendable, with strong points in glideslope alignment, landing flare, and touchdown accuracy. Keep up the great work and continue to focus on maintaining target speeds and alignment throughout each phase of the landing to further improve your overall score. With dedication and practice, you can strive for even higher scores in future landings. Great job!
