Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.7° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 5.3° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

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 2,169 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,169 m of the 3,185 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 543 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 33 at LFMP Perpignan-Rivesaltes (Llabanère) Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,241 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and winds of 8 knots at 299 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 7 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Peyrestortes in Occitanie, France, where the aircraft ascended from 1,154 feet above sea level to 39,935 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,781 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 85 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 2 miles east of el Besos i el Maresme in Catalunya, Spain. This phase lasted for 118 minutes and covered a distance of 748 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 8 miles east of Youssoufia in Marrakesh-Safi, Morocco, where the aircraft descended from 40,366 feet above sea level to 1,563 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,803 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at GMAD Al Massira Airport was made from the east, heading 271.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,322 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 27, which had a length of 3,185 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 152 knots. The touchdown point was 135 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 146 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -248 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and winds of 4 knots at 320 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 2,096 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 968 nautical miles, took 178 minutes, and used 5,884 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at GMAD Al Massira Airport, achieving a high score of 98.3%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 271.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,322 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 152 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing conditions. The touchdown point was located 135 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 146 kt, which is a little faster than the ideal speed. The touchdown rate of -248 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, indicating a moderate rate of descent. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision in navigating the aircraft to the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 320°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 3 kt, which is relatively minimal and should not have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance of 2,096 meters was 66% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the final approach and touchdown phases.
