Hold the approach angle
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
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 284 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A321 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Munich Airport, taking approximately 8 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 26L, with a takeoff distance of 1,549 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 12°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 260°, with no crosswind but a headwind of 6 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb from an altitude of 2,540 feet above sea level to 33,564 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,025 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles. The climb started overhead Hallbergmoos in Bavaria, Germany. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 143 nautical miles, starting 1 mile south east of Caldes in Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy.
The enroute descent began 1 mile north of Acqui Terme in Piemonte, Italy, and the aircraft descended from 33,721 feet above sea level to 10,593 feet above sea level, a decrease of 23,127 feet in 11 minutes, covering a distance of 65 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles, starting overhead Bevera in Liguria, Italy.
The enroute descent continued, starting 2 miles south east of La Condamine in Monaco, and the aircraft descended from 10,591 feet above sea level to 3,873 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,718 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, starting 8 miles south east of Cannes in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France.
The final descent began 1 mile south east of Vallauris in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France, and the aircraft descended from 3,748 feet above sea level to 1,821 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,927 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 04L at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, heading 40.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,777 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 04L, which had a length of 2,561 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 134 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 285 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -271 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13°C, a wind speed of 10 knots at 60°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 3 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 379 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 80 minutes. The aircraft used 4,067 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 aircraft successfully landed at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach to runway 04L was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 40.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,777 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 134 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 285 meters, which is within the expected range. However, the touchdown speed of 134 knots was slightly higher than desired, indicating that the pilots may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -271 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not as controlled as it could have been.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots maintained a consistent and accurate approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,323 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and were able to bring it to a stop safely and efficiently. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft performing well and the pilots demonstrating good skills and judgment.
