Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 121 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 124 kt against a VREF of 121 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 121 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 55 kt FAST on the reference speed of 121 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 4,112 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 417 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-600 departed Saint Helena Airport (FHSH) on runway 01, accelerating through a take-off roll of 986 m which represented 54 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 138 kt. Ambient temperature was 21 °C with a wind from 128° at 6 kt, including a 4 kt crosswind component and a 4 kt tailwind component.
During climb the aircraft left the vicinity of FHSH Longwood and rose from 1,472 ft asl to 40,534 ft asl, a gain of 39,062 ft. The climb was completed in 40 minutes while covering 312 nm.
Cruise commenced at latitude -14.2919295 and longitude -0.5603225. The level-flight segment lasted 275 minutes and spanned 2,235 nm.
Descent began 16 nm east of Mugumu Airport (HTPB) in Tanzania. The aircraft descended from 40,990 ft asl to 6,644 ft asl, a loss of 34,346 ft, over 17 minutes and a distance of 123 nm.
The final approach to runway 06 at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (HKJK) was executed from the south-west on a heading of 54.0° at 4 nm and 1,322 ft agl. Local conditions were 19 °C with a wind from 90° at 4 kt, a 2 kt crosswind and a 3 kt headwind.
Touchdown occurred on runway 06, whose length is 4,116 m. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 124 kt. The aircraft touched down after traveling 418 m down the runway at a speed of 118 kt, with a vertical rate of -277 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 9.2 m from the centreline. Total landing distance recorded was 941 m, representing 23 % of the runway.
Rollout continued with a slight centreline deviation of 11.6 m. The aircraft decelerated and exited the runway in accordance with standard procedures.
Taxi-in to the parking area required 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 2,676 nm, required 335 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 12,953 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 06 at HKJK Jomo Kenyatta International Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 54.0° at 4 nm and 1,322 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a threshold speed slightly above target at 124 kt. Touchdown distance was good at 418 m, while touchdown speed of 118 kt was a little fast and touchdown rate was fair at minus 277 fpm. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.2 m from the centreline.
Touchdown occurred with the aircraft crossing the threshold at the noted speed and rate, and the touchdown point remained 9.2 m off the centreline. The total landing distance measured 941 m, representing 23 % of the 4,116 m runway length.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.6 m from the centreline. Local weather was 19 °C with wind 4 kt from 090°, including a 2 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component.
Minor refinements should focus on improving centreline tracking during the flare and rollout to reduce the 9-10 m deviations observed. Maintaining precise alignment will help keep touchdown and rollout positions within tighter tolerances while preserving the strong overall score.
