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 2,039 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 323 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 at LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport. The taxi from the parking area to the runway took 10 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm. The departure roll was from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 351 m, which was 11% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 66 kn. The local weather at the time of departure was 14 °C, with a wind speed of 10 kn at 229 °, resulting in a 1 kn crosswind and a 10 kn headwind.
After departure, the enroute level cruise started overhead LFBD Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport and lasted for 1 minute, covering 1 nm. The flight then proceeded towards LFBZ Biarritz-Anglet-Bayonne Airport for landing. The landing was on runway 27, which had a length of 2,039 m. The height at threshold was 23 ft agl, and the speed at threshold was 74 kn. The touchdown occurred 322 m from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 65 kn and a vertical speed indicator reading of -70 ft/m. The local weather at the time of landing was 15 °C, with a wind speed of 9 kn at 260 °, resulting in a 1 kn crosswind and a 9 kn headwind.
The total landing distance was 668 m, which was 33% of the runway length. After landing, taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The total flight distance for this journey was 93 nm, which took 72 minutes to complete. The flight used 218 kg of fuel during the trip.
Congratulations on achieving a remarkable aircraft landing score of 97.7%! This demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency in all phases of the landing process.
During the Approach Phase, you showed excellent glideslope alignment, indicating precise control and awareness of the aircraft's descent. Although your speed was slightly below target, this minor deviation did not impact the overall quality of the approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your performance was commendable. Your threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The perfect landing flare further contributed to a controlled and stable descent onto the runway.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was excellent, showcasing your ability to accurately gauge the descent and timing of the landing. Your speed was on target, providing a smooth touchdown with minimal impact. Additionally, your touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone indicates precision and accuracy in touchdown positioning. The runway touchdown position being 2.3 m from the centreline demonstrates a high level of alignment control.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, you maintained excellent runway alignment, with only a slight deviation of 6.9 m from the centreline. This shows consistency in maintaining the aircraft's position on the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, your performance throughout the landing process was impressive. Your attention to detail, precision in control, and decision-making skills all contributed to the high landing score. Keep up the excellent work and continue to strive for excellence in all phases of aircraft operations. Well done!
