Keep the speed up 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.
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: speed below the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

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 492 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by Lufthansa, with the aircraft registration D-AINM. The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 12 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll took place on runway 18 at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), with a takeoff distance of 1,914 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway.
The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots.
Following departure, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 2 miles west of Moerfelden-Walldorf, a town in the state of Hessen, Germany. The climb took place from an altitude of 1,364 feet above sea level to 35,253 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,889 feet, in 17 minutes and covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise phase began 3 miles northeast of Oberwolfach, a town in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany, and lasted for 27 minutes, covering a distance of 193 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started overhead Casale Monferrato, a town in the region of Piemonte, Italy. The descent took place from an altitude of 35,403 feet above sea level to 7,004 feet above sea level, a decrease of 28,399 feet, in 19 minutes and covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which started 11 miles southeast of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a town in the region of Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France, and lasted for 10 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 2 miles west of Theoule-sur-Mer, a town in the region of Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France, and took place from an altitude of 6,300 feet above sea level to 1,280 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,020 feet, in 4 minutes and covering a distance of 13 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04L at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (LFMN) was made from the southwest, with a heading of 45.0°, at an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing took place on runway 04L, which had a length of 2,561 meters. The threshold speed was 127 knots, and the touchdown point was 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -58 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,231 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 445 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 92 minutes. The
The aircraft, Lufthansa D-AINM, successfully landed at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport with a score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 45.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,257 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then landed on runway 04L, which has a length of 2,561 meters.
The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 127 knots was also maintained, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position but still within acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but the touchdown rate of -58 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,231 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and landing phases.
