Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,630 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,630 m of the 2,059 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 613 m past the threshold — beyond 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 less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 23L at Manchester Airport (EGCC). The takeoff distance was 1,255 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 164 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 169°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Mobberley in Cheshire East, England. The climb took 7 minutes and covered 33 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,205 feet above sea level to 17,708 feet above sea level, an increase of 16,503 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 3 miles northwest of Hoylake in the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral, England. This cruise lasted for 2 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, starting 12 miles north of Prestatyn in Denbighshire, Wales. The descent took 12 minutes and covered 60 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 17,545 feet above sea level to 5,819 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,726 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 24 miles southwest of Port Erin on the Isle of Man. This cruise lasted for 5 minutes and covered 22 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its second descent, starting 13 miles northeast of Loughshinny in Leinster, Ireland. The descent took 3 minutes and covered 14 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 5,803 feet above sea level to 2,913 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,891 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 2 miles east of Laytown in Leinster, Ireland. This cruise lasted for 7 minutes and covered 11 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 16 at Dublin Airport (EIDW), approaching from the northwest at a heading of 157.0° and at an altitude of 984 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 196 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -73 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C, with a wind speed of 11 knots at 140°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,549 meters, which accounted for 75% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 157 nautical miles, and the flight took 49 minutes. The aircraft used 1,771 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Dublin Airport, achieving a high score of 95.7%. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 157.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 984 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being above the target at 62 feet agl. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 141 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 196 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The touchdown speed of 130 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -73 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, signifying that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing process.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 11 knots at 140°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which is a favorable condition for landing. The total landing distance of 1,549 meters was 75% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment with the runway was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing process. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance.
