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: centreline 9.0° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.6° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,535 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,535 m of the 2,495 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 260 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Santorini Airport (LGSR), the Boeing 737-900 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 33, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,382-meter stretch of asphalt, which comprised 65% of the runway's length. At a liftoff speed of 155 knots, the aircraft successfully lifted off the ground, taking advantage of the 10-knot headwind and minimal crosswind conditions.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,066 feet above sea level to 32,740 feet, a vertical increase of 31,674 feet, in just 16 minutes and covering a distance of 92 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles, before the aircraft initiated another climb phase, this time from 33,307 feet to 34,302 feet, a vertical increase of 996 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a prolonged level cruise phase, lasting 36 minutes and covering 250 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards Tivat Airport (LYTV). The descent phase was characterized by a significant vertical decrease of 33,560 feet, from 34,257 feet to 697 feet, in 27 minutes and covering 130 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Tivat Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 32, aligning itself with the runway and descending from 1 nautical mile and 668 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed safely on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 259 meters, a touchdown speed of 140 knots, and a touchdown rate of -827 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 499 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 4,480 kilograms of fuel, completing the journey in 91 minutes.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 32 at LYTV Tivat Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft was established on the final approach from the south east, heading 322.0° at 1 nm and 668 ft above ground level. The pilot maintained a steady state, aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline as the threshold height was achieved.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was within the acceptable range at 140 kt, and the touchdown distance of 259 m was well within the expected parameters. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat heavy at -827 fpm, indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 18 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the Boeing 737-900 remaining centered on the runway throughout the deceleration phase. The total landing distance of 1,455 m was 58% of the available runway length, indicating a satisfactory stopping performance. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 91.5% reflecting the pilot's good control and precision, although the heavy touchdown rate was a notable area for improvement.
