Landing on runway 08 at MDPC Punta Cana International Airport in the Boeing 737-MAX8

Landing Score 98.11 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 08 at MDPC Punta Cana International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach. The threshold speed of 143 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 1,358 ft was also good, demonstrating the crew's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 135 kt was good, but the touchdown rate of -294 fpm was only fair. This may have been due to the aircraft's slight misalignment with the centreline, as the runway touchdown position was 12 ft off-centre. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 79 °F and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, were favourable for the landing. The crosswind component of 2 kt was minimal, and the wind direction of 100 ° posed no significant challenge to the crew.

The aircraft's rollout was smooth and well-aligned with the centreline, earning a very good score. The total landing distance of 3,954 ft, which accounted for 39% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was well-executed, with a score of 98.1% reflecting the crew's proficiency and attention to detail.
