Travel by bush plane

I was curious because N.D. de la Salette never gave me trouble.
I tried and made a video.
Some things before:
I never fly planes like the DA40NG, i’d rather prefer bushplanes. It’s why my landing is not really good (and takes me five attempts to do it !).
I must say the DA40 is by far not the easiest plane for this exercise.
You’d better train with an easiest plane like the DR400, the C152 or the C172 to get the trick.
I think the better path is to fly over the sanctuary as low and slow as possible, and follow the road, turning left in final also as low and slow as possible.
On the vid, I was already too high when I began the approach. You can see I use the full flaps to break my speed but I land with the 1st notch because it’s a steep climb.
I turned in final to soon and too high, needing the full flaps for a moment, all of this giving a non stabilized short final. And the last right aileron moving was unnecessary.
Hope it will help.
