Monitor your speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 2,739 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 99 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 LHZA Zalaegerszeg Andráshida Airfield. The departure roll was on runway 35, with a takeoff distance of 298 meters, which was 20% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 58 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 16 °C with a wind of 5 knots coming from 358°, resulting in 1 knot of crosswind and 5 knots of headwind.
The enroute climb began 1 mile north of the airfield, climbing from 1,201 feet above sea level to 4,416 feet above sea level, covering a vertical distance of 3,215 feet in 5 minutes and traveling 8 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the flight continued for 3 miles north of Zalalovo, lasting 14 minutes and covering 29 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 1 mile northwest of Trautmannsdorf in Oststeiermark, descending from 4,428 feet above sea level to 3,596 feet above sea level, covering a vertical distance of 832 feet in 2 minutes and traveling 5 nautical miles.
After leveling off again, the flight continued for 1 mile north of Jagerberg, lasting 9 minutes and covering 10 nautical miles.
The landing took place on runway 16C at LOWG Graz Airport, with a runway length of 2,739 meters. The height at threshold was 13 feet above ground level, with a speed at threshold of 70 knots. The touchdown occurred 97 meters from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 68 knots and a vertical speed indicator showing a descent rate of -233 feet per minute. The local weather at the time of landing was 14 °C with no significant wind.
The total landing distance was 731 meters, which was 27% of the total runway length. Taxiing from the runway to the parking area took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 62 nautical miles, lasting 56 minutes and consuming 147 kilograms of fuel.
Congratulations on an impressive overall aircraft landing performance! With a score of 97.3%, it seems like you executed most aspects of the landing process with precision and skill.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is great to hear that you had excellent glideslope alignment. This indicates that you were able to maintain the correct vertical descent path, which is essential for a smooth and controlled landing. Additionally, while your speed may have been slightly below target, it shows that you were conscious of your airspeed throughout the approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, it is commendable that you had good threshold height and a perfect landing flare. The threshold height is crucial for determining the correct altitude at which to initiate the landing sequence, and a well-executed landing flare ensures a smooth touchdown. Despite a fair touchdown rate, it is reassuring to know that your speed was on target and that the touchdown distance was within the touchdown zone.
In the Touchdown Phase, the fact that you maintained the correct speed and had a touchdown distance inside the touchdown zone demonstrates your ability to accurately judge the landing parameters. Additionally, with the runway touchdown position being only 5.8 meters from the centerline, it shows that you were able to maintain a precise alignment during the touchdown.
Lastly, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 5.4 meters from the centerline indicates that you were able to maintain a straight path down the runway post-landing.
Overall, your landing was very well executed, with strong performance in each phase of the landing process. Keep up the great work and continue to focus on maintaining precision and accuracy in your future landings. With this level of skill and attention to detail, you are well on your way to mastering the art of aircraft landings. Well done!
