Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.1° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 6.4° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,337 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 96 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 10 at GMMX Menara Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,832 meters, which accounted for 59% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 162 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 24°C and winds of 6 knots at 59°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The enroute climb began 1 mile south of Marrakesh, where the aircraft ascended from 2,589 feet above sea level to 39,315 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,726 feet in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 137 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 13 miles south of Oulmes and lasted for 74 minutes. During this period, the aircraft covered a distance of 604 nautical miles. The enroute descent began 5 miles southwest of Pontons, where the aircraft descended from 38,359 feet above sea level to 1,415 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,944 feet in 26 minutes, covering a distance of 104 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 33 at LFMP Perpignan-Rivesaltes Airport was made from the southeast, with a heading of 329.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 33 was successful, with a runway length of 2,337 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 144 knots. The touchdown distance was 96 meters, which was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was slightly fast, and the touchdown rate was very hard at -568 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, but the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 21°C and winds of 9 knots at 260°, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,067 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 856 nautical miles, which was covered in 136 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,475 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at LFMP Perpignan-Rivesaltes (Llabanère) Airport, with a final approach from the south east. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The heading was 329.0°, which indicates a slight deviation from the direct approach path.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 143 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 144 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 96 meters was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -568 feet per minute (fpm) was considered very hard, indicating a high rate of descent at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 260°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. These conditions did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,067 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.9 meters from the centerline, indicating a slight deviation from the desired path after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a good threshold height and speed, and a short touchdown distance. However, the hard touchdown rate and slight misalignment of the runway rollout alignment are areas for improvement.
