Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 137 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 162 kt, 25 kt past the 137 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 137 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the nose up through to touchdown instead of easing it.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink but 347 fpm of it came back before touchdown, and in flights like this one that returning sink usually carries through to a firm or hard touchdown at 450 fpm.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: the sink held near zero all the way through touchdown, not allowed to build back up.
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,291 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 570 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to runway 23L at EGCC Manchester Airport, a movement that lasted 8 minutes and covered approximately 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 23L the aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 1,183 m, representing 41 % of the runway, and lifted off at 169 kt. Local weather was temperature 23 °C, wind 14 kt from 220°, with a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 13 kt head-wind.
Climb commenced overhead Mobberley, Cheshire East, England, climbing from 1,160 ft asl to 34,985 ft asl, an altitude gain of 33,825 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 119 nm.
Level cruise began overhead Datchworth, Hertfordshire, England, lasting 72 minutes and encompassing 551 nm of flight.
Descent was initiated 3 miles west of Molveno, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy, descending from 34,997 ft asl to 1,229 ft asl, a loss of 33,768 ft in 21 minutes and covering 104 nm.
The final approach to runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport was flown from the south-west, on a heading of 42.0° at 4 nm and 1,219 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred on runway 04R, whose length is 3,291 m, with a threshold speed of 134 kt. The aircraft contacted the runway 146 m beyond the touchdown zone at 117 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 347 fpm and a lateral deviation of 6.9 m from the centreline. Weather at the airport was temperature 31 °C, wind 7 kt from 130°, providing a 7 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.
The landing roll measured 1,337 m, representing 41 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s rollout alignment was offset by 17.2 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area, a movement that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 783 nm, required 127 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 4,556 kg of fuel.
The 737 MAX 8 carrying passengers approached runway 04R at LIPZ Venice Marco Polo Airport from the south-west on a heading of 42.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,219 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the aircraft maintained a score of 89.2 % for the overall landing.
At threshold the runway height was good and the threshold speed was set at 134 kt. Ambient temperature was 31 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 130 °, providing a 7 kt crosswind and no headwind component.
Touchdown occurred 146 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 117 kt. The aircraft contacted the runway with a firm rate of minus 347 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.9 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance used was 1,337 m, representing 41 % of the 3,291 m runway length. During rollout the aircraft remained misaligned by 17.2 m from the centreline.
To refine future performances, focus on reducing lateral deviation at touchdown and during rollout to keep centreline alignment within a few metres, and work on flare timing to achieve a softer touchdown rate while preserving the current stabilised approach quality.
