Keep the wings level on final
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 2,959 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 331 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 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 09 at East Midlands Airport (EGNX). The takeoff distance was 1,141 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 150 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 70 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Kegworth in Leicestershire, England. The climb took 31 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,317 feet above sea level to 37,154 feet, an increase of 35,838 feet. The distance covered during this period was 227 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Saint-Aubin-Celloville in Normandie, France. This phase lasted for 32 minutes and covered a distance of 257 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Arlanc in Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, France. The descent took 26 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 37,052 feet to 4,018 feet, a decrease of 33,034 feet. The distance covered during this period was 178 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles southwest of Saint-Raphael in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 4 miles south of Theoule-sur-Mer in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France. The descent took 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 4,036 feet to 1,140 feet, a decrease of 2,897 feet. The distance covered during this period was 14 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (LFMN) was made from the southwest, heading 53.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,098 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 334 meters and a touchdown speed of 131 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -204 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 180 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 910 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 690 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 103 minutes. The aircraft used 4,858 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, achieving a high score of 99.7%. The final approach to runway 04R was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 53.0° at an altitude of 1,098 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 138 knots. The touchdown distance of 334 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 131 knots was well-controlled. However, the touchdown rate of -204 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down slightly harder than desired.
Despite the slightly higher-than-ideal touchdown rate, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were favorable. The temperature was a comfortable 21°C, and the wind was light, blowing at 4 knots from a direction of 180°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which further contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 910 meters was 31% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.
Overall, the Boeing 737-700's landing at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was a success, with the aircraft performing well in terms of speed, distance, and alignment. While there were some minor areas for improvement, the landing was generally smooth and controlled, reflecting the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
