Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 6.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.

Side view — the last 5,075 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,075 ft of the 7,810 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,512 ft 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 11 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 08 at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport (TJSJ) in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The takeoff distance was 6,171 feet, which accounted for 64% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 86°F temperature and a 6-knot headwind. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile northeast of the airport and continued for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,081 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 30,397 feet, an increase of 29,315 feet.
The enroute level cruise started 88 miles northeast of Punta Cana International Airport (MDPC) in the Dominican Republic and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 30,904 feet to 37,639 feet, an increase of 6,736 feet, in just 5 minutes and covering 42 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 75 minutes, covering a distance of 580 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew northeast of Samana in the Dominican Republic.
As the aircraft began its descent, it encountered a change in weather conditions, with a temperature of 84°F and a 2-knot crosswind. The enroute descent started 13 miles east of Nicholls Town in the Bahamas and continued for 22 minutes, covering a distance of 127 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from 37,308 feet to 4,025 feet, a decrease of 33,283 feet. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 7 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew east of Surfside in Florida.
The final descent started 2 miles north of Country Club in Florida and continued for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft descended from 4,012 feet to 1,293 feet, a decrease of 2,718 feet. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10L at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL), flying from the west at a heading of 90.0° and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 10L was successful, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots and a touchdown rate of -344 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 154 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 84°F temperature and a 2-knot crosswind.
The total landing distance was 4,816 feet, which accounted for 62% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 46 feet from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 931 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 148 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 11,544 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport (KFLL) on runway 10L. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 90.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,260 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was recorded at 141 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 154 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this deviation is not considered significant. The touchdown speed of 136 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -344 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 84°F and a wind speed of 2 knots from 180°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The aircraft's landing distance of 4,816 feet was 62% of the available runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 46 feet off the centerline. This deviation is not considered significant and may be attributed to minor variations in the aircraft's alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
