Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
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: glideslope 5.2° against the runway's 3°, centreline 6.9° off, against a 1° limit and wings 24° of bank, against a 10° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate 2,303 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and centreline 3.1° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,188 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 352 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied to runway 06 at EINN Shannon Airport and commenced the departure roll. Takeoff was achieved after a ground run of 1,463 m, representing 46 % of the runway length, with liftoff occurring at 162 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 12 kt from 129°, providing a 12 kt cross-component and a 3 kt headwind.
Climb began directly overhead Shannon, where the aircraft accelerated from 996 ft asl to 2,515 ft asl, an altitude gain of 1,519 ft in 1 minute while covering 2 nm.
Level cruise was established one mile north of Shannon and was maintained for 5 minutes, during which the flight progressed 17 nm.
The final approach to runway 06 was executed from the south-west, aligning on a heading of 69.0° at 3 nm distance and 1,709 ft agl.
Landing was performed on runway 06, whose total length is 3,193 m. The aircraft touched down at a threshold speed of 145 kt, with a touchdown distance of 347 m and a hard touchdown rate of minus 411 fpm; runway alignment at touchdown was very good. Weather at the time was 17 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 99°, giving a 5 kt crosswind and a 4 kt headwind.
Rollout continued smoothly, the aircraft covering a total landing distance of 1,388 m, equivalent to 43 % of the runway, and maintaining very good alignment throughout the deceleration phase.
In total, the flight covered 24 nm, required 8 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 652 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 06 at EINN Shannon Airport was conducted from the south-west on a heading of 69.0° at 3 nm and 1 709 ft agl, with ambient temperature 17 °C, wind 6 kt from 099°, providing a 5 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
The aircraft established a good threshold height and maintained a good threshold speed of 145 kt as it entered the flare.
Touchdown occurred 347 m down the runway; the touchdown speed of 145 kt was noted as a little fast and the vertical rate was hard at minus 411 fpm, while runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance measured 1 388 m, representing 43 % of the 3 193 m runway, and rollout alignment was very good.
To refine the already strong performance reflected by the 95.9 % score, a slight reduction in touchdown speed would help moderate the hard vertical rate, allowing a smoother energy transition onto the runway.
