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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,373 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 478 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 10 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,552 meters, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 165 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 90 degrees.
The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 10 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of EDDN Nuremberg Airport. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 112 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,113 feet above sea level to 33,857 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,743 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile northwest of Kusterdingen, Germany. This phase lasted for 33 minutes and covered a distance of 231 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting overhead Apremont, France. The descent took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 146 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,029 feet above sea level to 1,363 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,665 feet.
The final approach to runway 13L at LFML Marseille Provence Airport was made from the northwest, with a heading of 134.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,340 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 13L, which had a length of 3,373 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 144 knots.
The touchdown point was 58 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 30 knots at a direction of 110 degrees.
The crosswind component was 12 knots, while the headwind component was 28 knots. The total landing distance was 1,324 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 497 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 91 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,059 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LFML Marseille Provence Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 134.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,340 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 13L, which has a length of 3,373 meters.
The threshold height was well within the acceptable range, and the threshold speed was significantly above the target speed of 144 kt, indicating a controlled and stable approach. However, the touchdown point was 58 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered slightly off-center. The touchdown speed of 130 kt was a bit faster than the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 30 kt from 110°. The crosswind component was 12 kt, while the headwind component was 28 kt. Despite these challenging conditions, the aircraft maintained a very good runway touchdown alignment, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,324 meters was 39% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled trajectory during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft's performance was impressive given the challenging weather conditions.
