Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 74 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 74 ft, 29 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,646 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,646 m of the 2,561 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 474 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 22 at EGSS London Stansted Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,623 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 225 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Birchanger in Essex, England. The climb took 17 minutes and covered 94 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,403 feet above sea level to 32,508 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,105 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 22 miles north west of Middelkerke in Flanders, Belgium. This phase lasted 59 minutes and covered 463 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile south of Pragelato-Rua in Piemonte, Italy. The descent took 13 minutes and covered 84 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 32,997 feet above sea level to 12,773 feet above sea level, a decrease of 20,224 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 4 miles south east of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. This phase lasted only 2 minutes and covered 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 9 miles south of Bordighera in Liguria, Italy. The descent took 24 minutes and covered 96 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 12,379 feet above sea level to 1,273 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,106 feet.
The final approach to runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was made from the south west, with a heading of 45.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,249 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 62 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -98 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,569 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 752 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 126 minutes. The aircraft used 5,531 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, achieving a high score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 04L was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 45.0° at an altitude of 1,249 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 140 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown point was located 62 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 130 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -98 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C, with a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 5 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing. The runway length at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport is 2,561 meters, providing a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop.
The total landing distance of 1,569 meters was 61% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centerline. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilots demonstrating excellent control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
