Top opportunity

Improve the touchdown

Arrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 28 at HRYR Kigali International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a stable approach. The aircraft's speed at threshold was slightly above the target, reaching 129 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 287 meters, and the touchdown speed of 123 knots was a little fast, but not excessively so. The touchdown rate of -198 feet per minute was good, indicating a controlled descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.2 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 2 knots from 180 degrees, were generally favorable for the landing. The crosswind component was minimal, and the headwind was negligible.

The aircraft's rollout was well-aligned with the runway centreline, demonstrating good control and stability during the post-landing phase. The total landing distance of 863 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 98.8% reflecting the crew's skill and attention to detail.
