Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.4° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 4.1° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Carry more power on approach to hold 143 kt at the threshold instead of letting speed decay into the flare.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 60 ft while already below the speed target, and the aircraft settled as the remaining energy ran out, usually carrying a firm touchdown with it at 586 fpm.
Watch for: Watch airspeed on short final against 143 kt, keeping it there through the flare.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,297 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 137 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 25 at LIRF Rome–Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,924 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 60 degrees.
The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 6 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started approximately 1 mile northwest of Fiumicino. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,027 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 38,239 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,212 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 18 miles southwest of Anacapri. This phase lasted for 71 minutes and covered a distance of 579 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 3 miles south of Ios, Greece. The descent was from an altitude of 38,034 feet above sea level to 1,693 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,340 feet in 29 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24 at LGRP Diagoras Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 250.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,661 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 24, which had a length of 3,297 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 130 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 138 meters, and the touchdown speed was 128 knots, which was also good.
However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -580 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots at a direction of 250 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 0 knots, while the headwind component was 19 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,122 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 841 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 132 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,532 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at LGRP Diagoras Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The final approach to runway 24 was conducted from the east, heading 250.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,661 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 130 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 138 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was reported to be very hard, at -580 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the aircraft was descending at a steeper angle than intended, which could be a result of the pilot's decision to flare the aircraft or a slight miscalculation of the descent path.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.0 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. However, this deviation did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a wind speed of 19 knots from 250°. This resulted in a headwind component of 19 knots, which would have helped to slow the aircraft's descent and improve the landing performance. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,122 meters was 34% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. This is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance capabilities. The runway rollout alignment was also reported to be very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely and efficiently.
