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.

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: off the centreline and wings not level.

Side view — the last 1,670 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,670 m of the 2,561 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 498 m touchdown sits inside 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an Airbus A321, then departed from runway 36 at LIML Milano Linate Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,111 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 36°C temperature and winds of 6 knots at 239 degrees. The crosswind was 6 knots, while the tailwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started overhead RB11 Idroscalo Milan, where the aircraft ascended from 1,391 feet above sea level to 17,667 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,277 feet in just 8 minutes and covering a distance of 29 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 1 mile south east of Santa Maria della Versa. This phase of the flight lasted 9 minutes and covered 61 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile north of Osiglia, where it descended from 17,693 feet above sea level to 15,641 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,053 feet in just 3 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles west of Pornassio, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles. The descent phase resumed, starting 1 mile north of Pigna, where the aircraft descended from 15,641 feet above sea level to 3,107 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,534 feet in 10 minutes and covering 38 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 13 miles south east of Antibes, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles. The descent phase resumed, starting 7 miles south of Antibes, where the aircraft descended from 3,102 feet above sea level to 834 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,268 feet in just 3 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 04L at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was made from the south west, heading 43.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 814 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 04L, which had a length of 2,561 meters. The threshold height was slightly above target at 59 feet above ground level, while the threshold speed was also slightly above target at 137 knots.
The touchdown point was 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -120 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 28°C temperature and winds of 7 knots at 130 degrees, with a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,594 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 183 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 50 minutes. The aircraft used 2,525 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A321 successfully landed at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 43.0° at 2 nautical miles and 814 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed smoothly on runway 04L, which has a length of 2,561 meters.
The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed of 137 knots was also slightly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft was slightly faster than desired during the final stages of the approach. Despite these minor deviations, the touchdown point was 87 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively small distance.
The touchdown speed of 131 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -120 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots at 130°.
The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot, resulting in a net headwind effect. The total landing distance of 1,594 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot's skills were evident throughout the approach and landing phases. The minor deviations from the target parameters did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing, and the aircraft came to a stop safely on the runway.
