Flight Score
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 1,500 ft instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 290 ft past the target, landing at 1,790 ft against the 1,500 ft aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 1,500 ft from the threshold.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,157 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,790 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, Jamaica, the Boeing 737-MAX8 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 12, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 55% of the 4,842-foot runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 156 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 83°F, with a gentle 3-knot wind blowing from a direction of 29°.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,001 feet above sea level to 39,037 feet in a mere 22 minutes, covering a distance of 160 nautical miles. This phase of the flight was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude in a relatively short period. Following a brief level cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent, reducing its altitude from 38,999 feet to 3,018 feet in just 15 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles. The final approach to Punta Cana International Airport was initiated from a distance of 4 nautical miles, with the aircraft aligning itself with runway 08 and touching down at a speed of 133 knots.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft coming to rest 421 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance of 4,237 feet was 42% of the available runway length, indicating a safe and controlled touchdown. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance of 519 nautical miles was achieved in 81 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 6,584 pounds of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 08 at MDPC Punta Cana International Airport with a score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 73.0° at 4 nm and 1,208 ft above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a smooth descent and a stable airspeed. The threshold height was well-managed, and the threshold speed of 145 kt was achieved as expected.
As the aircraft touched down 421 ft beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 133 kt was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -67 fpm was excellent, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 77 °F and a 4 kt headwind, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 4,237 ft was 42% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was characterized by good approach quality, a stable touchdown, and a controlled rollout, resulting in a high score of 98.8%.
