Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 16 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 145 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 152 kt, 7 kt above the 145 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 145 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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 5,000 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.
The 1,317 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from PHKO Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole, the Boeing 737-MAX8 began its journey with a taxiing period of 13 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 17, utilizing 66% of the available length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 160 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 79°F, with a gentle wind of 4 knots at 50°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
Following a successful takeoff, the aircraft commenced its enroute climb, ascending from 967 feet above sea level to 37,000 feet, an increase of 36,034 feet over a distance of 202 nautical miles, within a timeframe of 27 minutes. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted for 468 minutes and covered a distance of 2,111 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 36,216 feet to 3,371 feet over a distance of 132 nautical miles, within a timeframe of 24 minutes.
Upon reaching the vicinity of KLAS Harry Reid International Airport, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 26L, aligning itself with the runway at an altitude of 1,248 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target value of 153 knots, and a touchdown distance of 1,320 feet, which was within acceptable limits. The total landing distance of 3,302 feet accounted for 31% of the available runway length. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, concluding its journey with a total flight distance of 2,456 nautical miles, a flight time of 329 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 26,183 pounds.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 26L at KLAS Harry Reid International Airport with a score of 99.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nm and 1,248 ft above ground level (agl). The final approach was characterized by good threshold height, allowing the pilots to maintain a stable and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 153 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal approach speed.
The aircraft touched down at a speed of 147 kt, which was a little fast, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -290 fpm. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 1,320 ft was good, indicating a well-executed landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 99 °F, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 3,302 ft was 31% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilots demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
