Speed on the slow side
Between four hundred and a thousand feet you're heavy, close to the ground and still carrying flap, and speed is the margin holding all three apart. Slow here doesn't feel like anything — the aeroplane climbs, the nose is up, nothing complains — right up until a turn, a gust or a bank tightens the wing's job and the margin is already gone. The fix is rarely "fly faster", it's lowering the nose a degree and letting the speed build before the next thing you do. Pitch buys altitude, speed buys options, and at this height options are the scarcer of the two.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,249 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,249 m of the 4,065 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 501 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport, the Airbus A319 began its journey with a smooth taxiing process, taking approximately 6 minutes to reach the runway. With a takeoff distance of 1,012 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway, the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 142 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a gentle headwind of 5 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of Calvi, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 14,007 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 20 nautical miles, before the aircraft began another climb phase, this time reaching an altitude of 37,646 feet in 13 minutes, covering 85 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise, lasting 14 minutes and covering 103 nautical miles, before starting its descent into Munich Airport. The descent phase was notable, with the aircraft losing 35,285 feet in altitude in 25 minutes, covering 143 nautical miles.
As the Airbus A319 approached Munich Airport, it executed a smooth final approach to runway 08R, touching down 100 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 118 knots. The touchdown rate was a smooth -137 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 2,184 meters, accounting for 55% of the runway. Following a quick taxiing process, the aircraft came to a stop in the parking area, having completed a total flight distance of 386 nautical miles, using 2,691 kilograms of fuel in the process, and taking a total of 72 minutes to complete the journey.
The final approach to runway 08R at EDDM Munich Airport was executed from the west, with the aircraft heading 84.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,255 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 129 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent. The aircraft touched down 100 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 118 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was smooth at -137 feet per minute, demonstrating a well-executed flare.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 111°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots, providing a stable and predictable environment for the landing. The total landing distance of 2,184 meters was 55% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between speed and control.
The rollout phase was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway centerline. The overall performance of the landing was exceptional, with a score of 99.4%. The combination of good approach quality, smooth touchdown, and precise rollout alignment resulted in a safe and efficient landing, demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise.
