The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft. The enroute climb phase began 2 miles east of Clarkefield, a location in the State of Victoria, Australia. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 2,146 feet above sea level to a cruising altitude of 2,827 feet above sea level, resulting in an increase of 681 feet in just 2 minutes. The climb also covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south east of Clarkefield. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The cruise phase marked a brief period of steady flight before the aircraft began its descent towards Melbourne International Airport.
The final approach to runway 16 at YMML Melbourne International Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 174.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. At an altitude of 1,058 feet above ground level, the aircraft began its descent towards the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target speed of 142 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was good, covering a distance of 405 meters. The touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 113 knots. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, with a rate of -577 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, with an offset of 9.2 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 17 knots. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,149 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway length.
Following the landing, the aircraft underwent a rollout phase, during which it deviated slightly from the centreline, with an offset of 9.2 meters. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. Notably, the aircraft consumed a total of -7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Melbourne International Airport (YMML) on runway 16, achieving a score of 90.8%. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 174.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,058 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 142 knots, which may have contributed to a harder-than-ideal touchdown rate. However, the touchdown distance of 405 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 113 knots was also within acceptable limits. Unfortunately, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -577 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the pilots could have benefited from a more gradual descent.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centreline, which may have resulted from a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. This misalignment was also observed during the runway rollout alignment, where the aircraft remained 9.2 meters off-centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a headwind of 17 knots at 180°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 knots.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down within the acceptable distance and speed parameters. However, the hard touchdown rate and misaligned touchdown and rollout positions may indicate areas for improvement in the pilots' approach and landing techniques.
