Arrival
Shallow the descent on final to re-intercept the glideslope and cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: The aircraft was off the glideslope during the approach, tracking low against the required path.
Watch for: Watch the glideslope indicator and threshold height, targeting 50 ft at 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 6.8° off, against a 1° limit and wings 18° of bank, against a 10° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 4.4° against the runway's 3°.
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 252 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 Shannon Airport and commenced the departure roll, achieving a take-off distance of 1,406 m, which represented 44 % of the available runway. Liftoff occurred at 160 kt. Ambient conditions were 21 °C with a wind of 13 kt from 120°, providing a 5 kt head-wind component and a 12 kt cross-wind component.
Climb began one mile west of Shannon, where the aircraft rose from 929 ft asl to 1,542 ft asl, an altitude gain of 613 ft in one minute while covering five nautical miles.
Level cruise was established one mile south-west of Shannon and persisted for three minutes, during which eight nautical miles were traversed.
The final approach to runway 06 was executed from the south-west on a heading of 52.0° at two nautical miles out and 986 ft agl. Weather at the time was 18 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 120°, yielding a 3 kt head-wind and an 8 kt cross-wind component.
Landing on runway 06, which is 3,193 m long, was performed with a threshold speed of 148 kt. Touchdown occurred 248 m down the runway at 146 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 463 fpm and a lateral deviation of 4.1 m from the centreline. The total landing distance measured 1,323 m, equivalent to 41 % of the runway length, and the runway touchdown position was noted as slightly misaligned.
Runway rollout alignment was judged very good, and the aircraft came to a stop safely on the prepared surface.
In total, the flight covered 18 nm, took 7 minutes, and consumed 587 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-800 approached runway 06 at Shannon (EINN) from the south-west on a final approach heading 52.0 ° at 2 nm and 986 ft AGL, with a temperature of 18 °C, wind 8 kt from 120 °, giving an 8 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component.
The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was good at 148 kt.
Touchdown occurred 248 m down the runway; the touchdown speed was 146 kt, noted as a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at minus 463 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 4.1 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,323 m, representing 41 % of the 3,193 m runway, and the rollout alignment was very good.
Reduce the touchdown speed slightly to bring it closer to the target VREF and smooth the flare to lessen the hard rate. Maintain precise lateral control to keep the touchdown point within a meter of the centreline, which will preserve the very good rollout alignment.
