Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 178 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 520 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,796 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 582 m past the threshold — beyond 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 32 at RJCO Sapporo Okadama Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,135 meters, which accounted for 76% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 166 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 18°C and a wind speed of 17 knots at 329°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of RJCO Sapporo Okadama Airport. The climb took 19 minutes and covered 120 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,041 feet above sea level to 38,370 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,329 feet. The enroute level cruise then started 27 miles north of Shimokizukuri, Aomori-ken, Japan, and lasted for 82 minutes, covering 529 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 5 miles northeast of Gotsucho, Shimane-ken, Japan, and took 29 minutes to descend from 39,423 feet above sea level to 1,494 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,929 feet. The descent covered 127 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 16 at RJFF Fukuoka Airport was made from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 148.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,466 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 16 at RJFF Fukuoka Airport, which had a length of 2,796 meters, was successful, with the threshold height being above target and the threshold speed being good at 141 knots. The touchdown point was 169 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -398 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 320°.
The total landing distance was 1,204 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 782 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 137 minutes. The aircraft used 4,716 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at RJFF Fukuoka Airport, with a final approach from the northwest. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,466 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The heading was 148.0°, which is aligned with the runway, indicating a smooth and controlled approach.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 16, which has a length of 2,796 meters. The threshold height at 67 feet agl was above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly high on its approach. However, the threshold speed was good at 141 knots, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's speed effectively.
The touchdown point was 169 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center. The touchdown speed of 131 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -398 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's slight deviation from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 320°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 1,204 meters, which is 43% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot managed the aircraft's speed and descent effectively. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and aligned the aircraft with the centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot maintaining control throughout the approach and rollout phases. However, there were some minor deviations from the target, including the threshold height and touchdown point, which may be addressed in future training or adjustments to the approach procedure.
