Landing on runway 26 at HKEL Eldoret International Airport in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 99.45 %

Landing Summary

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.
