Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 4.6°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,593 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 211 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, 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. The departure roll took place on runway 25 at LIBD Bari Karol Wojtyła Airport. The takeoff was successful, with a takeoff distance of 1,757 meters, which corresponds to 72% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 155 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind of 9 knots at 219°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The enroute climb started about 1 mile north of Bitonto in Puglia, Italy. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,262 feet above sea level to a height of 38,650 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,387 feet in just 20 minutes, covering a distance of 102 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 5 miles south of Blato in Dubrovacko-Neretvanska Zupanija, Croatia. This phase lasted for 29 minutes and covered a distance of 223 nautical miles. Later, the aircraft began its descent overhead Zikarce in Duplek, Slovenia. It descended from a height of 38,508 feet above sea level to 2,255 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,253 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08 at LOWL Linz-Hörsching Airport / Vogler Air Base was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 87.0° and 4 nautical miles away from the runway. The landing was successful, despite the threshold speed being slightly below the target value at 130 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 212 meters, and the touchdown speed of 128 knots was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat higher than desired at -485 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took just 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft completed its journey with a total flight distance of 458 nautical miles, consuming 2,941 kilograms of fuel in the process, and using approximately 88 minutes of flying time.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft landed successfully at LOWL Linz-Hörsching Airport / Vogler Air Base on runway 08. The final approach was initiated from a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway, at an altitude of 1,280 feet and heading 87.0 degrees from the west.
Upon evaluation of the landing performance, it was observed that the threshold height was satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 130 knots, which is a minor deviation. Nevertheless, this did not affect the overall outcome of the landing, as the aircraft was able to touch down at a distance of 212 meters with a speed of 128 knots.
The touchdown rate of -485 feet per minute was considered hard, which is a notable aspect of the landing. This may indicate that the pilots applied a more aggressive touchdown or that the aircraft was not able to slow down sufficiently before touchdown. Despite this, the aircraft maintained a very good runway alignment, indicating that the pilots made a conscious effort to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and wind speeds of 10 knots at an angle of 50 degrees. This resulted in a moderate crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind component of 8 knots.
In terms of the overall performance, the aircraft required a total landing distance of 972 meters, accounting for 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating that the pilots had control over the aircraft as it decelerated after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered a success, with the 737-MAX8 aircraft landing safely on the designated runway.
