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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,567 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,567 m of the 2,561 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 206 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 Frankfurt Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 18, with a takeoff distance of 1,392 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 157 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 5°C temperature and winds of 8 knots at 30°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the tailwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf, Germany, and the aircraft climbed from 1,358 feet above sea level to 36,402 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,044 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 137 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started overhead Hallau, Switzerland, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 36,398 feet above sea level to 38,187 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,789 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started overhead Arth, Switzerland, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering 145 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its descent from 38,050 feet above sea level to 3,839 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,211 feet in 17 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 10 miles southeast of Antibes, France, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, from 3,379 feet above sea level to 745 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,634 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04L at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was made from the southwest, heading 42.0° at 2 nautical miles and 730 feet above ground level. The landing took place on a runway length of 2,561 meters, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was good at 130 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 206 meters. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -463 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were 15°C temperature and winds of 19 knots at 80°. The crosswind was 11 knots, and the headwind was 16 knots. The total landing distance was 1,479 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 423 nautical miles, taking 78 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,001 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, achieving a high score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 04L was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 42.0° at an altitude of 730 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down on the runway with a speed of 126 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed of 130 knots.
The touchdown distance of 206 meters was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown rate of -463 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or jolt upon touchdown. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from a direction of 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 16 knots, which the aircraft successfully managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,479 meters was 58% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient stopping distance to safely come to a stop.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the landing process.
