Settle the descent rate
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: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 1,572 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 4.7° against the runway's 3.5° and wings 36° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,106 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 233 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Munich Airport (EDDM), the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 08R, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 36 °C and a gentle wind of 8 knots at 64°, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and an 8-knot headwind. With a liftoff speed of 133 knots, the aircraft successfully took off, covering a distance of 2,859 meters, which was 72% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed out of Munich, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 37,009 feet above sea level in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 126 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with the aircraft rising by 34,552 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 136 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began 2 miles north-west of Bedonia, Italy, and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a brief level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nautical miles, before beginning its final descent.
The final approach to runway 36 at Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport (LFKC) was made from the south, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 125 knots. The touchdown distance was 233 meters, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 32 °C and a wind of 11 knots at 330°, resulting in a 5-knot crosswind and a 9-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 1,197 meters, which was 57% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 402 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2,832 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 76 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 36 at LFKC Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, the threshold speed of 132 kt was maintained, indicating a smooth and controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 233 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed.
However, the touchdown speed of 125 kt was slightly above the recommended threshold, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -462 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a consistent and accurate approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 32 °C and a headwind of 9 kt, also played a role in the landing, but the pilot's skills and experience were able to compensate for these factors.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment with the centreline, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. The total landing distance of 1,197 m, which accounted for 57% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 97.4% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
