Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 68 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 68 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 794 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,825 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,825 m of the 2,694 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 794 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to runway 36L at Amsterdam-Schiphol (EHAM) for nine minutes, covering approximately five nautical miles before reaching the hold-short line.
During the departure roll on runway 36L, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,548 m, representing 41 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 158 kt. Ambient conditions were 19 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 049°, including a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced one mile northeast of Vijfhuizen, with the airplane climbing from 977 ft asl to 33,004 ft asl, an altitude gain of 32,027 ft achieved in 16 minutes while traversing 110 nm.
Level cruise began one mile south of Mülheim, Germany, and was maintained for 15 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 117 nm at cruise altitude.
Descent was initiated two miles east of Gelnhausen, Germany, descending from 33,003 ft asl to 2,339 ft asl, a loss of 30,664 ft over 16 minutes and a distance of 80 nm.
The final approach to runway 10 at Nuremberg Airport (EDDN) started from 1,345 ft agl and descended to 76 ft agl in 95 seconds, with the aircraft scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 10 was executed with a threshold height of 68 ft agl that was above target, while the threshold speed of 145 kt was within expectations. Touchdown occurred 378 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 140 kt, slightly faster than nominal, and the aircraft settled at a firm rate of minus 305 fpm. Local weather at the time was 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 120°, a zero-kt cross-wind and a 1 kt head-wind. The total landing roll measured 1,744 m, equivalent to 65 % of the runway length, and alignment on touchdown was perfect.
Runway rollout proceeded without deviation, maintaining the perfect alignment noted at touchdown and allowing the aircraft to decelerate safely to taxi speed.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in two minutes, covering less than one nautical mile before shutdown.
In total, the flight covered 319 nm, required 59 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 2,481 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 10 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits. The aircraft descended from 1,345 ft agl to 76 ft agl in 95 seconds and earned full marks on the stabilisation gates.
At the threshold the aircraft was 68 ft agl, which was above the target height, while the threshold speed of 145 kt was recorded as good.
Touchdown occurred 378 m beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 140 kt, noted as a little fast, and the vertical rate was firm at minus 305 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered 1,744 m, representing 65 % of the 2,694 m runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.
With a score of 93.6 %, the landing was strong overall; refining the touchdown point to be closer to the aim point and moderating speed slightly will help reduce the firm vertical rate and keep the touchdown within the intended zone.
