Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 183 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 33 kt fast at 216 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 183 kt in the climb
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, by 11 ft, so the flare has time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
What happened: The flare began late at 6.8 ft, 4.4 ft below the normal band, and a late flare like this usually leaves too little time to arrest the sink before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch radio altitude and start the flare in the normal band, around 11 ft.
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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 1,776 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,776 m of the 3,890 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 545 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to runway 36L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol for 12 minutes, covering 4 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 36L with a takeoff roll of 1,426 m, using 38 % of the runway. Rotation occurred at 144 kt. Local weather at departure was temperature 13 °C, wind 4 kt from 060°, giving a 3 kt crosswind and a 2 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 27 seconds, averaging 1,830 fpm and reaching 226 kt at the top of the segment. The climb continued from 983 ft asl to 36,670 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering 125 nm, beginning 1 mile north-east of Vijfhuizen.
The aircraft levelled at 37,000 ft asl for 68 minutes, covering 503 nm, beginning 2 miles south of Wuelfrath.
Descent from 36,966 ft asl to 1,311 ft asl lasted 26 minutes and covered 131 nm, beginning 1 mile north of Subbiano.
On final approach to runway 16L at LIRF Rome-Fiumicino, descent from 1,349 ft agl to 82 ft agl was completed in 97 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration changes were: landing gear down at 2,339 ft agl at 230 kt, and final flap position 8 at 2,183 ft agl at 155 kt.
Landing on runway 16L (runway length 3,890 m) had a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 147 kt. The flare was described as great but started late. Touchdown occurred 131 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 142 kt, noted as a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 213 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was temperature 16 °C, wind 3 kt from 090°, giving a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind. No bounce was observed.
The total landing distance was 1,700 m, 44 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area for 7 minutes, covering 2 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 773 nm in 132 minutes and used 4,745 kg of fuel.
