The aircraft touched down on runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The threshold speed of 140 kt was also well within the acceptable range, indicating a good approach quality. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance of 270 m was satisfactory, but the touchdown speed of 140 kt was slightly above the ideal, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -324 fpm.
The aircraft's alignment with the runway centreline was not perfect, with a deviation of 5.8 m from the centreline. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of the landing. The total landing distance of 1,296 m, which accounted for 51% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and wind speeds of 16 kt at 80 °, presented a moderate headwind component of 13 kt and a crosswind component of 9 kt. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to execute a safe and controlled landing, with a final score of 97.0%. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
