Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.

Side view — the last 6,808 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,808 ft of the 9,928 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,518 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Kos Airport, the Boeing 737-MAX8 began its journey with a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering 2 nautical miles to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 32, with the aircraft taking off at a distance of 5,711 feet, which accounted for 73% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 165 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 98°F and a negligible wind of 4 knots at 0°.
As the aircraft climbed out of Kos Airport, it reached an altitude of 33,922 feet, an increase of 32,771 feet from the initial 1,151 feet above sea level. This climb phase, which lasted 16 minutes, covered a distance of 101 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining an altitude of 33,922 feet for 103 minutes, during which it covered 777 nautical miles. The cruise phase was punctuated by a series of descents, with the first one starting 2 miles west of Solec-Zdroj, Poland, where the aircraft descended from 34,000 feet to 5,428 feet in 20 minutes, covering 110 nautical miles. The subsequent level cruise phase, which lasted only 2 minutes, covered 6 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 2 miles east of Chynow, Poland, where the aircraft descended from 5,010 feet to 1,729 feet in 4 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Warsaw Chopin Airport, it began its final approach to runway 33 from the south-east, maintaining a heading of 334.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,332 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed well above the target at 163 knots, and the touchdown point was 207 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 158 knots, which was slightly fast, but the touchdown rate of -182 feet per minute was good. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also satisfactory. The total landing distance was 6,597 feet, accounting for 66% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 5 minutes. The total flight distance was 1,017 nautical miles, with a flight time of 157 minutes and a fuel consumption of 12,092 pounds.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 33 at EPWA Warsaw Chopin Airport, marking a successful conclusion to the approach from the south east. The aircraft's descent was characterized by good approach quality, with a steady and controlled rate of descent that allowed for a smooth touchdown. The threshold height was well within acceptable limits, and the threshold speed of 163 kt was significantly above the target, indicating a high degree of control and precision.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it became apparent that the touchdown speed of 158 kt was slightly faster than desired, resulting in a touchdown rate of -182 fpm, which, while good, could have been improved upon. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 101 °F and a gentle tailwind of 2 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 6,597 ft was 66% of the runway length, indicating a moderate level of braking performance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was deemed a success, with a score of 97.1% reflecting the high degree of control and precision displayed by the pilot throughout the approach and landing phases.
