Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,007 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 372 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from FZAA Ndjili International Airport, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey with a smooth taxiing phase, taking approximately 2 minutes to reach the runway. As it rolled down runway 24, the aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 150 kt, clearing the ground at 1,936 meters, which was 57% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 38 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, contributed to a stable takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed out of Kinshasa, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 37,993 ft asl after a 43-minute ascent, covering a distance of 319 nm. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with a total gain of 36,037 ft. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 37,993 ft asl for 72 minutes while covering 590 nm. The cruise phase was a testament to the aircraft's efficient performance, with a smooth and stable flight path.
As the aircraft began its descent into DXXX Lomé–Tokoin International Airport, it started its enroute descent from an altitude of 38,000 ft asl, gradually decreasing to 1,374 ft asl in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 165 nm. The final approach to runway 22 was executed from the north east, with a heading of 219.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,300 ft agl. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 138 kt and a touchdown rate of -137 fpm. The total landing distance was 953 m, which was 32% of the runway's length. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey with a total flight distance of 1,081 nm, a flight time of 144 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 7,511 kg.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 22 at DXXX Lomé–Tokoin International Airport with a high degree of precision, showcasing exceptional approach quality. The aircraft descended from 1,300 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway heading of 219.0°. The approach was characterized by a smooth and controlled descent, culminating in a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 142 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a satisfactory touchdown distance of 374 meters, with a corresponding touchdown speed of 138 knots. The touchdown rate was notably smooth, at -137 feet per minute, indicating a well-executed landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31°C and a 6-knot headwind, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The Boeing 737-900 continued to demonstrate its exceptional handling characteristics during the rollout phase, maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 953 meters, which accounted for approximately 32% of the runway length, was well within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was deemed a success, with a final score of 99.9% reflecting the high level of proficiency displayed by the crew.
