Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 8,457 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,394 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Orlando International Airport (KMCO) served as the departure point for the Boeing 737‑MAX8, which began its journey with a taxi from the parking area to runway 17R. The taxi phase lasted 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft rolled onto runway 17R and achieved liftoff after covering 6,822 feet, which represented 68 % of the available runway. The liftoff speed was 168 kt, and the local weather conditions were 91 °F with a 3 kt wind from 280°, a 3 kt crosswind, and a 1 kt tailwind.
The climb phase commenced 2 mi west of Lake Hart, Florida, where the aircraft ascended from 1,059 ft ASL to 36,608 ft ASL, an increase of 35,549 ft over 17 minutes while covering 110 nm. Level cruise began 1 mi north of FD15 Tailwinds Airport, Jupiter, Florida, and persisted for 53 minutes, covering 405 nm. Descent started 40 mi southwest of MUSR Fundo de Buena Ventura Airport, Santa Cruz del Sur, Cuba, with the aircraft descending from 36,622 ft ASL to 1,412 ft ASL, a decrease of 35,210 ft in 26 minutes and covering 138 nm. The final approach to runway 07 at MKJS Sangster International Airport was conducted from the southwest, heading 66.0°, at 4 nm and 1,398 ft AGL. Landing on runway 07, which is 8,457 ft long, the threshold speed was 142 kt and the touchdown speed was 132 kt. The touchdown distance was 1,401 ft, and the touchdown rate was –193 fpm, with the runway touchdown alignment described as perfect. Local weather at the destination was 88 °F with a 9 kt wind from 80°, a 2 kt crosswind, and a 9 kt headwind. The total landing distance was 4,160 ft, representing 49 % of the runway.
After touchdown, the aircraft taxied back to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The entire flight covered a total distance of 661 nm, took 105 minutes, and consumed 7,731 lbs of fuel.
The final approach to runway 07 at MKJS Sangster International Airport was executed from the south west, maintaining a heading of 66.0° at 4 nm and 1,398 ft AGL. The aircraft approached the threshold with a good height and a threshold speed of 142 kt, indicating a well‑controlled descent profile. The touchdown occurred at 1,401 ft from the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 132 kt and a touchdown rate of –193 fpm, all within the expected parameters for a Boeing 737‑MAX8 under the prevailing conditions.
Upon contact, the aircraft remained perfectly aligned with the runway centreline, and the touchdown alignment was described as perfect. The local weather conditions were 88 °F with a wind of 9 kt from 80°, providing a 2 kt crosswind and a 9 kt headwind. These factors contributed to a stable approach and a clean touchdown. The total landing distance was 4,160 ft, representing 49 % of the available runway length of 8,457 ft.
The rollout phase continued to demonstrate precise alignment, with the runway rollout alignment also noted as perfect. The overall performance of the landing was rated at 99.8 %, reflecting the aircraft’s adherence to approach, touchdown, and rollout criteria. The flight crew maintained a consistent approach quality, threshold speed, and touchdown characteristics, resulting in a successful and efficient landing.
