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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,561 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 340 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking to the runway at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, taking 6 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 07L, with a takeoff distance of 1,255 meters, which is 42% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 153 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and winds of 7 knots at 119 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile southwest of Bohnsdorf, Germany, and reached an altitude of 33,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,827 feet in 24 minutes, covering 124 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Erfurt, Germany, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. It then began a descent from 34,151 feet to 33,104 feet, a decrease of 1,047 feet in 2 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Altenfeld, Germany, and lasting 7 minutes, covering 52 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued its journey, entering a climb phase from 33,466 feet to 35,172 feet, an increase of 1,706 feet in 3 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles. It then entered another level cruise phase, starting 2 miles south of Buch am Wald, Germany, and lasting 37 minutes, covering 253 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began a descent from 34,872 feet to 3,912 feet, a decrease of 30,959 feet in 21 minutes, covering 112 nautical miles. It then entered another level cruise phase, starting 13 miles southeast of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France, and lasting 3 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
The final descent took place from 3,912 feet to 792 feet, a decrease of 3,120 feet in 4 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, heading 48.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 776 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 04L, with a runway length of 2,561 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 137 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 340 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 132 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 14°C temperature and winds of 18 knots at 60 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, and the headwind was 17 knots. The total landing distance was 1,186 meters, which is 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking from the runway, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 619 nautical miles, taking 113 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,771 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 48.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 776 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 14°C, with a moderate wind blowing at 18 knots from a direction of 60°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 17 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The aircraft touched down on runway 04L, which has a length of 2,561 meters.
The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 137 knots. However, the touchdown speed was slightly higher than ideal at 132 knots, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 340 meters was within acceptable limits.
One minor issue was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 3.5 meters off the centerline. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in managing the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. The total landing distance of 1,186 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the wind conditions.
