See Arrival Final 2
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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.
Lifted off at 75 kt with 5.0° of pitch.
Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.
The takeoff, point by point
Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 980 ft.
Reached 35 ft with 2,386 m of runway left; then climbing at 890 fpm on average to 980 ft.
The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.
Plan view the roll down the 2,959 m runway.
Rolled from 182 m in, drifted 2.2 m right of the centreline and was back on it to lift off. Airborne 16 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.
The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The final from 4 nm.
Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.
Inside the glideslope band from 4 nm to the threshold, never more than 120 ft above the slope.
Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.
Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 4× larger than distances along the final.
Inside the 1° band from 4 nm to 2.8 nm, then drifted 103 m right between 2.8 and 1.1 nm, then back inside it from 1.1 to 0.5 nm, then 18 m right of it from 0.5 nm to the threshold.
Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.
Over the threshold
Touchdown
4 kt across from the left, which takes about 4° of crab to hold the centreline at 56 kt. Touched down straight - the crab taken out before the wheels touched, 2° of bank.
Wind 020° at 11 kt · 10 kt head · 4 kt across
The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.
From 45 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 5 s, an average deceleration of 0.22 g.
Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Crossed the threshold at 29 ft, 21 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 137 m in, 168 m short of the ideal 305 m.
The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.
Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.
The sink went from 520 fpm at 29 ft to 210 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.8° on the way down.
Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,959 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2.4 m right of the centreline, and stayed about there down the rollout, 3.2 m right at the widest.
The runway from above, with your left at the top. Touching down inside the green bracket scores full marks for the distance. The shaded part is the rollout, up to where it ended. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.
The 137 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 04R at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, LFMN. The Tecnam P2006T MKII aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 76 kn. The takeoff distance was 298 m, which accounted for 10% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 °C, with a wind speed of 12 kn blowing at 20 °.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 2,907 ft asl. The climb was initiated overhead the airport and covered a distance of 3 nm, with an increase in altitude of 1,890 ft in just 2 minutes. Following this initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm, 3 miles south of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 2,902 ft asl to 3,777 ft asl, an increase of 876 ft in 2 minutes, covering 4 nm. This climb was initiated 6 miles southeast of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 34 minutes and covering 22 nm, 10 miles southeast of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 2 miles east of Theoule-sur-Mer. The descent was from 3,896 ft asl to 1,337 ft asl, a decrease of 2,559 ft in 7 minutes, covering 9 nm. The final approach to runway 04R at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was made from the southwest, heading 45.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,319 ft agl.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 56 kn and a touchdown distance of 136 m. The touchdown rate was fair at -214 fpm, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 213 m, accounting for 7% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.
The total flight distance was 48 nm, taking 53 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 30 kg of fuel during the flight. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 °C, with a wind speed of 11 kn blowing at 20 °.
