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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,599 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,599 m of the 3,351 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 396 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 17 at HUEN Entebbe International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,931 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 210 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of HUEN Entebbe International Airport, and climbed from an altitude of 4,742 feet above sea level to 32,228 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,486 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 12 miles northwest of Tarime, in the Mara Region of Tanzania, and lasted for 40 minutes, covering a distance of 262 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 7 miles east of HTKW Lake Jipe Airport, in the Taita Taveta District of Kenya. The descent was from an altitude of 32,204 feet above sea level to 1,758 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,446 feet, in 25 minutes and covering a distance of 105 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at HKMO Moi International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 29.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,560 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 03 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 399 meters, which was 45% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 145 knots, but the touchdown rate was firm at -378 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 60 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,521 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 503 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 92 minutes. The aircraft used 4,638 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at HKMO Moi International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.7%. The final approach to runway 03 was conducted from the southwest, with a heading of 29.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,560 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed of 148 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 399 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
However, the touchdown speed of 145 knots was slightly faster than the desired speed, which may have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate of -378 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 60°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing phase. The total landing distance of 1,521 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the final approach and landing phases.
