MY FS FLIGHTS
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 24 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power on final to bring threshold speed back to 141 kt.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 275 kt against a VREF of 141 kt, and the flare arrested the sink at 32 ft before 279 fpm of sink returned. Crossing fast like this usually carries the flare high and brings the sink back before touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 141 kt at the threshold

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven 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.
At the 500 ft gate: gear still up, no landing flap set, glideslope 0.6° against the runway's 3°, centreline 7.3° off, against a 1° limit and speed 139 kt FAST on the reference speed of 141 kt.

The rest of the report
The 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to runway 24 at LGRP Diagoras Airport, covering 2 nm in 9 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 24, the aircraft used a take-off distance of 1,544 m, representing 47 % of the runway, and lifted off at 160 kt. Local weather was 34 °C with a wind of 16 kt from 252°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 16 kt head-wind.
The initial climb began 1 mile west of LGRP, climbing from 990 ft ASL to 28,813 ft ASL - an increase of 27,824 ft - in 24 minutes while covering 149 nm.
A level cruise segment started 7 miles north-east of Karystos, lasting 8 minutes and encompassing 62 nm.
A subsequent climb commenced 3 miles north-east of Tinos, raising the aircraft from 28,228 ft ASL to 31,020 ft ASL - a gain of 2,792 ft - in 6 minutes over 48 nm.
The next cruise phase began 2 miles south of Agria, lasting 5 minutes and covering 37 nm.
A further climb was initiated 4 miles north-east of Mantoudi, increasing altitude from 33,114 ft ASL to 34,742 ft ASL - a rise of 1,627 ft - in 5 minutes while traveling 37 nm.
The following cruise segment started 4 miles north-west of Cres, lasting 54 minutes and spanning 66 nm.
Descent began 1 mile south of LGMK Mykonos, dropping from 28,813 ft ASL to 28,215 ft ASL - a loss of 599 ft - in 2 minutes and covering 11 nm.
A long descent was started 3 miles south-west of Makrychori, descending from 35,992 ft ASL to 3,772 ft ASL - a decrease of 32,220 ft - in 76 minutes and covering 479 nm.
The final approach to the landing ground 1 mile south-east of San Michele al Tagliamento proceeded from 1 nm to 1 nm at 216 ft AGL.
Touchdown occurred with a descent from 31 ft AGL to 0 ft AGL, a reduction of 31 ft in 14 seconds.
Overall, the flight covered 897 nm, took 187 minutes, and consumed 6,146 kg of fuel.
The 737 Max 8 began its final approach to the landing ground located 1 mile south-east of San Michele al Tagliamento (Veneto, Italy) from 1 NM out, descending to 216 ft AGL. At the 1,000 ft gate the approach was assessed as unstable: the landing gear was not down, the flaps were not set, the aircraft was off the glideslope and off the centreline.
During the touchdown phase the aircraft descended from 31 ft AGL to 0 ft AGL, a loss of 31 ft over 14 seconds, completing the landing at the same site 1 mile south-east of San Michele al Tagliamento.
To improve the score of 80.2 %, ensure the gear is extended and the flaps are selected before reaching the 1,000 ft gate, and maintain both glideslope and centreline alignment throughout the final approach.
