Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 147 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 153 kt against a target of 147 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 147 kt at the threshold.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,580 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,580 ft of the 8,863 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,889 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Las Américas International Airport in Santo Domingo, the 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. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 17, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 163 knots. The takeoff distance of 6,259 feet was 57% of the available runway length, indicating a smooth and efficient departure.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 30,009 feet above sea level in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 75 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 41 minutes and covered a distance of 271 nautical miles. The cruise phase was marked by a stable and efficient flight profile, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent speed and altitude.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, Jamaica, it began its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 29,702 feet to 1,162 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 109 nautical miles. The descent was characterized by a smooth and controlled rate of descent, with the aircraft touching down on runway 12 at a speed of 143 knots. The total landing distance of 5,327 feet was 60% of the available runway length, indicating a good touchdown point and a smooth rollout. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 463 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 7,047 pounds of fuel during the flight, which lasted a total of 86 minutes.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 12 at MKJP Norman Manley International Airport with a score of 98.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 111.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,139 feet above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 153 knots, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it touched down 536 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 143 knots, which was a little fast. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate was excellent at -74 feet per minute, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 80°F and a wind of 3 knots at 28°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance was 5,327 feet, which accounted for 60% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was characterized by good approach quality, a slightly above-target threshold speed, and excellent touchdown characteristics, resulting in a high score of 98.7%.
