Keep the wings level on final
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.

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.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,041 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 293 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 02 at Merowe Airport in Sudan. The takeoff distance was 903 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 29 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Merowe Airport and ascending from an altitude of 1,879 feet above sea level to 38,646 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,766 feet in 32 minutes, covering a distance of 226 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 37 miles northwest of Wad Medani in Sudan and lasted for 134 minutes, covering a distance of 1,106 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles northwest of Ziwani Airport in Kenya and descending from an altitude of 39,001 feet above sea level to 1,998 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,003 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 189 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles southwest of Mkokotoni in Tanzania and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18 at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport in Tanzania was made from the north, heading 175.0 degrees at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 294 meters, which was 23% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 113 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -142 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 711 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,540 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 187 minutes. The aircraft used 8,517 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at HTZA Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 18 was executed from the north, with the aircraft heading 175.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,266 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was marked by a high score of 99.7%, indicating a nearly flawless execution of the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 121 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 294 meters was also within the expected range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown speed of 113 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -142 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 180°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 711 meters was only 23% of the runway length, indicating a high degree of precision and control. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
