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 27 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,512 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 323 m touchdown sits inside 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 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 06R at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,729 meters, which was 67% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 25°C, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 59°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 92 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,052 feet above sea level to 36,987 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,935 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 18 miles south of Cunit, Spain. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time starting 3 miles south of La Bastide-de-Serou, France. The climb took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 36,892 feet above sea level to 38,639 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,747 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Le Fossat, France. This phase lasted for 65 minutes and covered a distance of 419 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Ruyaulcourt, France. The descent took 29 minutes and covered a distance of 130 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,951 feet above sea level to 1,972 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,979 feet.
The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase, which started overhead Zijtaart, Netherlands. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 21 at EHEH Eindhoven Airport, approaching from the northeast at a heading of 215.0° and at an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level.
The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 326 meters and a touchdown speed of 140 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended speed. The touchdown rate was fair at -243 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at a direction of 90°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,269 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 791 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 147 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,940 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Eindhoven Airport, achieving a high score of 97.8%. The final approach to runway 21 was conducted from the north-east, with a heading of 215.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,279 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 145 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 326 meters was also within the expected parameters, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly higher touchdown rate of -243 feet per minute (fpm).
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 90°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, which further contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,269 meters was 51% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory. However, the slightly fast touchdown speed and touchdown rate may be areas for improvement in future landings.
