Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 183 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 44 kt fast at 227 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 183 kt in the climb
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 141 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,759 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 421 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied to runway 19 at LEGE Girona-Costa Brava Airport and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft lifted off after a takeoff run of 974 m, representing 43 % of the available runway, at a liftoff speed of 155 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 26 °C with a wind from 190° at 21 kt, including a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 21 kt head-wind.
Climb began one mile south of LEGE, where the airplane accelerated from 1,460 ft asl to 38,771 ft asl, a gain of 37,312 ft achieved in 19 minutes while covering 118 nm.
The first level-cruise segment started one mile north-east of Venerque, France, and persisted for 103 minutes, during which the aircraft traversed 409 nm.
Descent was initiated 15 miles north-east of Gatteville-le-Phare, France. The flight descended from 38,050 ft asl to 2,635 ft asl, a loss of 35,415 ft over 28 minutes, covering 193 nm.
A second cruise phase commenced one mile north-west of Bromsgrove, England, lasting 6 minutes and spanning 20 nm.
Final approach to runway 15 at EGBB Birmingham International Airport reduced altitude from 1,307 ft agl to 35 ft agl in 104 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation-gate criteria.
Landing on runway 15, whose length is 2,759 m, was executed with a threshold speed of 136 kt. Touchdown occurred 423 m down the runway at 130 kt, with a firm touchdown rate of minus 354 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 13.2 m from the centreline. Local weather reported a temperature of 16 °C, wind 2 kt from 190°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind. The total landing distance recorded was 1,154 m, equivalent to 42 % of the runway.
During rollout the aircraft’s alignment was slightly off centreline by 13.1 m.
In total the flight covered 748 nm, required 105 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 3,680 kg of fuel.
Aircraft C750 successfully landed at EGAA Belfast International Airport, achieving a score of 98.0%. The final approach to runway 25 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 245.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,314 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 125 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly faster than expected, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -316 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.4 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 220°. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 15 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing distance of 1,830 meters was within 66% of the available runway length of 2,766 meters.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
