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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,872 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,872 m of the 2,959 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 619 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 07 at LFPO Paris-Orly Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,185 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at a direction of 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Ablon-sur-Seine in the Ile-de-France region of France. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,230 feet above sea level to 35,072 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,841 feet, in 20 minutes and covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 1 mile west of Bagneux in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. This phase lasted for 22 minutes and covered a distance of 150 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 1 mile south of Dieulefit in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 34,383 feet above sea level to 1,171 feet above sea level, a decrease of 33,211 feet, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04R at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 49.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,151 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 04R, which had a length of 2,959 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 146 knots.
The touchdown point was 226 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 136 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -240 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at a direction of 80 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,815 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 390 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 75 minutes. The aircraft used 3,439 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, achieving a high score of 96.9%. The final approach to runway 04R was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 49.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,151 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 146 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 226 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was slightly faster than desired, and the touchdown rate of -240 feet per minute was considered fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots from a direction of 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,815 meters was 61% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed 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 approach and landing phases.
