What went well

Rollout held the centreline in a 10 kn crosswind — 2.21 m off at taxi speed
Touched down at -201 fpm — a soft arrival
Flare on profile — 99 %

What held you back

Departure Roll — Landing Lights at 0 %, Strobe Lights at 0 %, −1.90 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 846 m at 57 %, Runway alignment max 8.37 m left at 81 %, −0.74 points

Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 19 m off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming once the flare is established, holding the attitude instead of letting the nose drop.

What happened: Sink came back after the flare had arrested it, and that pattern usually carries the touchdown long - here it landed at 846 m against the 457 m aim point.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, shallow rate through the flare with no renewed sink before touchdown

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied to runway 23L at Auckland International Airport (NZAA) and commenced the departure roll; rotation was achieved at 142 kt and the aircraft lifted off after a take-off run of 935 m, representing 25 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 18 °C with a wind from 300° at 20 kt, including a 15 kt cross-wind component and a 13 kt head-wind component.

During the climb the aircraft departed the vicinity of NZAA, climbing from 974 ft asl to 1 502 ft asl, a gain of 528 ft achieved in 1 minute while covering 4 nm.

Level cruise began approximately 2 mi south of NZAA; the flight maintained cruise for 5 minutes and traversed 13 nm before commencing descent.

The descent phase reduced altitude from 1 348 ft agl to 79 ft agl in 129 seconds, meeting the required profile for the final approach.

On final approach to runway 23L the crew received a stabilisation-gate score, confirming compliance with the approach criteria.

Landing was executed on runway 23L, whose total length is 3 671 m; the threshold height at 56 ft agl was slightly above target and the threshold speed was recorded at 124 kt. Touchdown occurred 419 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 111 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 201 fpm and a lateral deviation of 8.4 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was 15 °C with a wind from 300° at 21 kt, a 16 kt cross-wind and a 14 kt head-wind. The total landing roll measured 1 109 m, equivalent to 30 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was judged very good.

Rollout continued smoothly after touchdown, maintaining the alignment noted during landing and completing the required distance within the runway limits.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to parking in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm on the taxiway.

In total the flight covered 22 nm, required approximately 10 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 419 kg of fuel.
