Smooth the climb

See Departure Climb 1

Pull to 15 degrees at one rate and you get a clean liftoff, pull to the same 15 degrees at twice the rate and you get an overshoot, a push, and an oscillation through the first few hundred feet. The type-general rule of thumb is a rotation rate of about 2 to 3 degrees per second, which means roughly five to seven seconds from starting the pull to reaching the initial climb attitude of around 15 degrees nose-up. Count it out loud during your next takeoff and you will almost certainly discover you have been rotating in two seconds flat.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at KGRR Gerald R. Ford International Airport on runway 26L. The final approach was executed from the east, heading 260.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,211 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its approach, achieving a score of 99.5%.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 140 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 1,356 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 132 knots was slightly lower than the threshold speed, but still within the acceptable limits.

However, the touchdown rate of -202 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's weight, the runway's surface, or the pilot's control inputs.

Despite the slightly higher touchdown rate, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it affects the aircraft's ability to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 43°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots, while the headwind component was zero. These conditions were favorable for the landing, allowing the aircraft to maintain a stable approach and touchdown.

The total landing distance of 4,282 feet was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilots executed a well-planned and controlled approach, taking into account the aircraft's performance characteristics and the runway's length.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. This is an important aspect of landing, as it affects the aircraft's ability to stop safely and efficiently.

Overall, the Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing at KGRR Gerald R. Ford International Airport, with a score of 99.5%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate, the aircraft's performance was generally excellent, and the pilots executed a well-planned and controlled approach.
