Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,728 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 214 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 10 at EDDN Nuremberg Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,290 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 86 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Nuremberg Airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of the airport. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,059 feet above sea level to 37,047 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,988 feet. The enroute level cruise then started 1 mile south of Hofkirchen im Muehlkreis, Austria, and lasted for 178 minutes, covering a distance of 1,465 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 36 miles northwest of Ras Gharib, Egypt, and took 25 minutes to complete, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 38,862 feet above sea level to 1,289 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,573 feet. The descent covered a distance of 119 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34R at HEGN Hurghada International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 345.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,209 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 34R was successful, with a touchdown distance of 207 meters, which was 23% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 130 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -299 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 24 knots at 340 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,716 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 233 minutes. The aircraft used 7,921 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Hurghada International Airport (HEGN) on runway 34R. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 345.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,209 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was achieved at 138 knots, which is within the acceptable range.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good touchdown distance of 207 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within the acceptable range at 130 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly below average at -299 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.1 meters, which may require some adjustments during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a high temperature of 37°C and a moderate headwind of 24 knots from a direction of 340°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, which did not pose a significant challenge to the landing. The total landing distance of 847 meters was within 23% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 14.1 meters, which may require some adjustments to maintain directional control. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and landing phases. However, some minor adjustments may be necessary to improve the touchdown rate and alignment during future landings.
