Hold the approach angle
The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.
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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,340 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 359 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 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 35 at HBBA Bujumbura Melchior Ndadaye International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,311 meters, which is 36% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft climbed to a height of 36,471 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,843 feet from the initial altitude of 3,627 feet. This climb took 28 minutes and covered a distance of 196 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 7 miles east of HUBY Mutukula Airport and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 181 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 4 miles east of HKHB Homa Bay Airport, descending from 37,028 feet to 8,563 feet in 15 minutes and covering a distance of 76 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at HKEL Eldoret International Airport was from the east, with a heading of 258.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,657 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft performed a go-around at 1,439 feet above ground level. The landing was eventually made on runway 26, with a runway length of 3,340 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 130 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 342 meters, and the touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -238 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots from 90 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,345 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 474 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 88 minutes. The aircraft used 4,361 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at HKEL Eldoret International Airport, with a final approach score of 91.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 258.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,657 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 26, which has a length of 3,340 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed, coming in at 130 knots instead of the desired 164 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 342 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 123 knots.
The touchdown rate, which measures the rate at which the aircraft descends during landing, was reported as fair at -238 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft may have touched down slightly more aggressively than desired. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.3 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,345 meters, which is approximately 40% of the runway length.
One of the notable aspects of the landing was the perfect runway rollout alignment, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and evenly after touchdown, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop in a straight line. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance.
