Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 183 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 39 kt fast at 222 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 183 kt in the climb
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 1,853 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,853 m of the 3,193 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 709 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 10 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport in 6 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 10, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 1,401 m, representing 52 % of the runway, and lifted off at 158 kt. Ambient conditions were 18 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 099°, a headwind component of 3 kt and no cross-wind.
Climb commenced 1 mile east of EDDN, with the airplane ascending from 2,058 ft asl to 30,008 ft asl, an increase of 27,950 ft achieved in 13 minutes while covering 88 nm.
Level cruise began 3 miles west of Hilders and continued for 17 minutes, during which 131 nm were flown at the assigned altitude.
Descent started 2 miles south-west of Laer, with the aircraft descending from 29,999 ft asl to 1,278 ft asl, a loss of 28,722 ft in 25 minutes and a distance of 128 nm.
The final approach to runway 06 at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol involved a descent from 1,336 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 101 seconds, and the aircraft scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 06 was executed on a 3,193 m runway with a threshold speed of 144 kt. Touchdown occurred 297 m beyond the touchdown zone at 134 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 229 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. Local weather reported 17 °C, wind 3 kt from 006°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,776 m, equivalent to 56 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment remained perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 3 minutes, traveling less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 358 nm, lasted 65 minutes, and consumed 2,670 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 performed a stabilised approach at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,336 ft agl to 71 ft agl in 101 seconds on final approach to runway 06 at EHAM, maintaining the required parameters throughout the stabilisation gates.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and established the required threshold speed of 144 kt. The flare was executed in accordance with the approach profile, transitioning smoothly from the final descent to touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 297 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 134 kt, which was recorded as good. The vertical rate at touchdown was fair at minus 229 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 1,776 m, representing 56 % of the 3,193 m runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect throughout the deceleration phase.
Minor refinements to reduce the touchdown vertical rate and to aim the touchdown point slightly earlier would further optimise the landing, bringing the already high 98.0 % score even closer to the ideal.
