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 500 ft gate: centreline 1.5° 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 3,356 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 586 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Cassidy International Airport, Kiritimati, the Boeing 737-900 began its journey with a smooth taxiing phase, taking approximately 3 minutes to reach the runway. The aircraft then accelerated down runway 08, lifting off at a speed of 145 kt after a takeoff distance of 1,129 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 30 °C, with a gentle headwind of 3 kt.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb phase, ascending from 985 ft to 36,889 ft in 37 minutes, covering a distance of 275 nm. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising level at a latitude of -1.6450727 and a longitude of -154.6989733. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 138 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,082 nm. The descent phase commenced 46 miles northwest of Raroia Airport, with the aircraft descending from 37,001 ft to 1,596 ft in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 183 nm. A brief level cruise phase ensued, lasting only 2 minutes as the aircraft approached its destination.
The final approach to runway 12 at Hao Airport was executed from the northwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 135.0° at an altitude of 1,129 ft above ground level. The landing was smooth, with the touchdown point located 163 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 122 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -146 fpm was also satisfactory. The total landing distance of 1,075 meters accounted for 32% of the runway's length. Following a short taxiing phase, the aircraft came to a stop, having completed a total flight distance of 1,553 nm in 214 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 10,358 kg.
The Boeing 737-900 touched down on runway 12 at NTTO Hao Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -146 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 133 kt was within acceptable limits, and the aircraft maintained good control throughout the landing sequence. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a touchdown point located 163 m beyond the touchdown zone, a relatively short distance.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it demonstrated good centreline alignment, with the runway touchdown alignment being very good. The touchdown speed of 122 kt was also within acceptable limits, indicating a well-controlled descent. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 270 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining very good runway alignment. The total landing distance of 1,075 m, which accounted for 32% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 97.2% reflecting the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
