Track the centreline
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 1.7° off, against a 1° limit and wings 12° of bank, against a 10° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.2° against the runway's 3° and centreline 2.1° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,935 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,935 m of the 2,507 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 251 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Kaunas International Airport, runway 26, the Boeing 737-700 initiated its takeoff roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 167 kt in 1,339 meters, which was 51% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a local weather environment characterized by a temperature of 18 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt. The wind direction was from the northwest, with a crosswind component of 6 kt.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from 1,192 ft above sea level to 6,542 ft, a vertical gain of 5,350 ft in just 5 minutes. This climb phase was punctuated by brief periods of level cruise, including a 2-minute segment 5 miles west of Kaisiadorys, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude of 6,278 ft. The enroute descent phase was initiated 3 miles east of Kaisiadorys, with the aircraft descending from 6,278 ft to 5,013 ft in 2 minutes. The flight continued with multiple level cruise and descent phases, ultimately transitioning into the final approach phase for runway 19 at Vilnius International Airport.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 19 at a speed of 134 kt, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 253 meters was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown rate of -417 fpm was considered hard. The aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.2 meters. The flight concluded with a taxiing period of 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile, and a total fuel consumption of 1,135 kg. The total flight distance was 91 nautical miles, with a flight time of 28 minutes.
The Boeing 737-700 touched down on runway 19 at EYVI Vilnius International Airport with a threshold height that met expectations. The aircraft's approach quality was good, with a threshold speed of 134 kt, which was within the desired range. The touchdown distance of 253 m was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown speed of 134 kt was slightly above the ideal, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -417 fpm.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway, but the runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centreline, deviating by 11.1 m. This slight misalignment was also evident during the rollout phase, where the aircraft strayed 12.2 m from the centreline. Despite this, the total landing distance of 1,859 m, which accounted for 74% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle tailwind of 5 kt, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 737-700 at EYVI Vilnius International Airport was satisfactory, with a score of 93.1%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the aircraft's approach and touchdown characteristics were generally good, and the rollout phase was completed without incident.
