Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 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.
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 112 ft, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 54 ft.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,510 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,038 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
A Boeing 737-MAX8 departed from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (KSEA) on runway 34R, taking off with a distance of 5,247 feet, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots, with a local temperature of 67°F and wind conditions of 17 knots at 319°, resulting in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it passed over Riverton, Washington, and continued to ascend to 33,595 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,154 feet in 20 minutes. The enroute level cruise phase started 3 miles east of Mount Hood, Oregon, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then underwent several climb and level cruise phases, reaching a maximum altitude of 39,008 feet above sea level. The descent phase began 12 miles southeast of Goldfield Airport in Nevada, and the aircraft descended to 6,269 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,733 feet in 21 minutes. The final approach to runway 26L at Harry Reid International Airport (KLAS) was executed from the east, with a heading of 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,251 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 landed on runway 26L at KLAS, with a touchdown point 661 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown rate was -162 feet per minute, both of which were within acceptable limits. The total landing distance was 3,899 feet, accounting for 37% of the runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 4 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 889 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 151 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 11,910 pounds.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft maintained a steady heading of 270.0° as it descended from 4 nautical miles and 1,251 feet above ground level, ultimately landing on the runway with a threshold speed of 142 knots, well within the acceptable range.
The touchdown characteristics were also noteworthy, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 128 knots and a rate of -162 feet per minute, both of which were within the desired parameters. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach. However, the rollout phase revealed a slight misalignment, with the aircraft deviating from the centreline by 50 feet.
Despite this minor deviation, the overall performance of the landing was impressive, with a total landing distance of 3,899 feet, representing 37% of the runway length. This indicates a high degree of control and precision during the rollout phase, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a relatively short distance. The landing was scored 90.8%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
