The flight began with the departure of a Boeing 737 Max 8 from Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, where it rolled down runway 22L. The aircraft took off after covering 1,159 meters, which was 39% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 143 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 5 knots blowing from a direction of 42 degrees. This resulted in a tailwind of 5 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south of Saint-Laurent-du-Var. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 1,040 feet above sea level to 5,304 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This impressive climb was achieved in a short period of time, demonstrating the capabilities of the Boeing 737 Max 8.

After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent overhead Vallauris. The descent was equally as steep as the climb, with the aircraft dropping from 5,327 feet to 861 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This rapid descent allowed the aircraft to begin its final approach to the runway.

The final approach to runway 04R at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 50.0 degrees at an altitude of 832 feet above ground level. The aircraft was 4 nautical miles from the runway at this point.

The landing on runway 04R was successful, with the aircraft touching down after covering a distance of 432 meters. The touchdown speed was 118 knots, which was good, but the touchdown rate was heavy at -694 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned from the centerline, with the aircraft being 21 meters off course.

The total landing distance was 1,133 meters, which was 38% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned, with the aircraft being 19.9 meters off the centerline. Despite these issues, the total flight distance was only 17 nautical miles, and the flight used 2,071 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 04R at LFMN Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport in the 737 Max 8 Passengers

Landing Score 79.68 %

Landing Summary

A Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft successfully landed at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport, with a score of 79.7%. The final approach to runway 04R was initiated from the southwest, heading 50.0° at an altitude of 832 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 121 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 432 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 118 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -694 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed heavy, indicating a potentially rough landing.

One notable issue with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 21.0 meters off the centerline. This could have implications for the aircraft's braking performance and overall safety. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 19.9 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the overall score.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 264°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were generally favorable for landing, but the aircraft's performance was still affected by the misaligned touchdown and rollout.

Overall, while the landing was successful, there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown alignment and rollout performance. The aircraft's score of 79.7% suggests that there is room for refinement in the pilots' techniques and the aircraft's handling characteristics.
