Narrative:
On final approach, 10 NM out, flaps 15 degrees, we lost center hydraulic system. I asked for vectors off approach to run abnormal checklist and declared emergency. We used alternate system to lower gear and select 20 degrees flaps as per checklist. Flight attendants and passenger were advised of situation and that a normal landing would be accomplished. Copilot was flying and made normal landing on longest runway (runway 27R). We taxied to ramp, had gear pins installed, then taxied to our gate. Everything turned out fine.
