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 2,284 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 340 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 5-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at LFOP Rouen Vallée de Seine Airport. The departure roll on runway 04 covered a distance of 442 meters, which was 26% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 74 knots, with the local weather indicating a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 16 knots at 9°, resulting in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 14 knots.
The enroute climb commenced overhead Boos in Normandie, France, with the aircraft climbing from 1,234 feet above sea level to 3,887 feet, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles in 5 minutes. The following level cruise phase began over Saint-Pierre-de-Manneville and lasted 14 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nm.
The descent phase started over Villers-sur-Mer, during which the aircraft descended from 3,823 feet to 2,899 feet, covering 4 nm in 2 minutes. Another level cruise segment began 1 mile north of Houlgate, lasting 4 minutes and covering 7 nm. The final descent phase began 6 miles northwest of Benerville-sur-Mer, with the aircraft descending from 2,890 feet to 1,810 feet, covering 3 nm in 2 minutes.
The landing occurred on runway 04 at LFOH Le Havre-Octeville Airport, with the aircraft touching down 340 meters from the threshold at a speed of 71 knots and a vertical speed indicator recording -191 ft/m. The total landing distance was 765 meters, which was 33% of the runway length. The local weather at the time of landing indicated a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 19 knots at 30°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 18 knots.
Following the landing, a 1-minute taxi from the runway to the parking area completed the flight. The total flight distance covered was 67 nm, taking 44 minutes and consuming 133 kg of fuel.
Congratulations on achieving a landing score of 96.0%! Let's break down your performance in each phase of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, you demonstrated excellent glideslope alignment, indicating that you were able to maintain the correct descent path towards the runway. This is a crucial aspect of a successful landing, as it sets the foundation for a smooth touchdown. Your ability to maintain proper alignment shows your skill and precision in controlling the aircraft during the approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, you had a good threshold height and executed a perfect landing flare. The threshold height refers to the point at which the aircraft crosses the beginning of the runway, and having it at the correct level ensures a safe and timely touchdown. The landing flare is the upward pitch just before touchdown, and executing it perfectly indicates your mastery of the aircraft's controls and timing.
In the Touchdown Phase, you had a good touchdown rate, with the speed on target and the touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone. This demonstrates your ability to judge the aircraft's descent and speed accurately, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was very good, indicating that you were able to land the aircraft precisely where intended on the runway.
Finally, during the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment was 11.3 meters from the centerline. While slight deviations from the centerline are common, having a relatively small distance from it shows your ability to maintain straight and stable roll out after touchdown.
Overall, your performance in each phase of the landing process was commendable, resulting in an impressive landing score of 96.0%. Keep up the excellent work and continue to fine-tune your skills to further improve your landings. Well done!
