Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,575 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,575 m of the 3,680 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 556 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 737-900 took off from HSPN Port Sudan New International Airport, located in Port Sudan, with runway 34 as its departure runway. During the taxiing process from the parking to the runway, it took 4 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its takeoff roll, covering a distance of 1,134 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The lift-off speed reached 149 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions included a temperature of 34 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 2 knots at 261 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile north of Port Sudan, elevating from 1,130 feet above sea level to 36,550 feet in just 34 minutes, covering a distance of 235 nautical miles. This climb offered an impressive increase of 35,420 feet. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered into a level cruise at an altitude of 36,550 feet, approximately 14 miles east of Keren in the Anseba Region of Eritrea. This level cruise phase lasted for 124 minutes, covering a vast distance of 911 nautical miles.
The aircraft then started its final descent from a height of 37,078 feet above sea level to 10,178 feet in just 11 minutes, covering a distance of 77 nautical miles. This descent took place 9 miles southwest of Kumi in the Eastern Region of Uganda. The aircraft briefly entered into another level cruise phase, this time approximately 7 miles northwest of Lugazi in the Central Region of Uganda. This level cruise lasted for just 3 minutes and covered 16 nautical miles.
The final descent from a height of 10,104 feet above sea level to 5,058 feet above sea level was achieved in just 6 minutes, covering a short distance of 19 nautical miles. This descent took place 3 miles southeast of Kireka in the Central Region of Uganda. The aircraft then prepared for its final approach and landing at HUEN Entebbe International Airport, approaching runway 17 from the north at a heading of 172.0 degrees.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 17 at Entebbe International Airport, with a runway length of 3,680 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target, recorded at 135 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a bit faster than desired, measuring 131 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -236 feet per minute.
The aircraft touched down 145 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with the runway touchdown position slightly misaligned by 6.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 160 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 9-knot headwind.
The total landing distance covered 1,499 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was impressively good, indicating excellent control and coordination during the landing process. The taxiing process from the runway to the parking at Entebbe International Airport took another 4 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 1,266 nautical miles, lasting for 192 minutes and utilizing 8,425 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-900 successfully landed on runway 17 at HUEN Entebbe International Airport, scoring a high 96.1% for the overall landing performance. As it approached the runway from the north at a heading of 172.0°, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 1,286 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) before touching down on the runway.
The aircraft landed on the runway with a threshold height, indicating a stable approach. However, the pilot managed to land slightly above the target threshold speed of 135 kt, reaching a speed of 135 kt. The touchdown point was positioned 145 m beyond the touchdown zone, which falls within an acceptable range. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 131 kt was a bit faster than ideal.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft had a fair touchdown rate of -236 ft/min, which is acceptable. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. Local weather conditions during the landing were favourable, with a temperature of 27°C, and a headwind of 9 kt and a negligible crosswind component.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,499 m, which accounts for 41% of the runway length. Interestingly, the pilot managed to realign the aircraft during rollout, ensuring that the runway rollout alignment was excellent. This accomplishment highlights the pilot's exceptional skills and ability to adjust to changing circumstances during landing. Overall, the Boeing 737-900's 96.1% landing score demonstrates an excellent and precise landing performance.
