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 1,881 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,881 m of the 2,997 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 442 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 29 at HASO Asosa Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,897 meters, which accounted for 76% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 336 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb 2 miles southeast of Asosa, in the Benishangul-Gumuz Region of Ethiopia. The climb started from an altitude of 5,991 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 37,231 feet, an increase of 31,239 feet in 31 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 197 nautical miles during this phase.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 23 miles east of HSEU Al Hawatah Airport in Al Qadarif State, Sudan. This phase lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 177 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 12 miles west of Barentu in the Gash-Barka Region of Eritrea. The descent started from an altitude of 36,677 feet and reached a minimum altitude of 9,118 feet, a decrease of 27,558 feet in 14 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 84 nautical miles during this phase.
The final approach to runway 07 at HHAS Asmara International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 74.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,443 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 07, which had a length of 2,997 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 11 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown speed of 140 knots and a touchdown rate of -316 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total landing distance was 1,812 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 467 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 82 minutes. The aircraft used 4,160 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at HHAS Asmara International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 07 was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 74.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,443 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with a high degree of accuracy, as evident from the subsequent landing performance.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 145 knots was also within the acceptable range, signifying that the pilots had properly managed the aircraft's speed during the final approach. The touchdown distance of 442 meters was also satisfactory, as it was within the expected range for a Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
The touchdown speed of 140 knots was also good, indicating that the pilots had successfully slowed down the aircraft to a safe speed before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -316 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the pilots had maintained a stable and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilots had properly aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 0 knots at 11°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more challenging. The total landing distance of 1,812 meters was 60% 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 pilots had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft at HHAS Asmara International Airport was exceptional, with a score of 99.0%. This achievement is a testament to the pilots' skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's design and performance capabilities.
