The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 09 at Grantley Adams International Airport (TBPB) in Barbados. The takeoff distance was 923 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 154 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and winds of 12 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southwest of Crane in Saint Philip, Barbados, and continued to an altitude of 37,388 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,368 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 27 miles northeast of Le Vauclin in Martinique. This phase lasted for 21 minutes and covered a distance of 152 nautical miles. The enroute descent began overhead Parham in the Parish of Saint Peter, Antigua and Barbuda, and descended from 37,209 feet to 1,054 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,155 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 98 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 10 at Princess Juliana International Airport (TNCM) in St. Maarten was made from the west, heading 81.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,021 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 10 was successful, with a runway length of 2,295 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 135 knots. The touchdown distance was 163 meters, and the touchdown speed was 130 knots, both of which were considered good.

However, the touchdown rate was hard at -404 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.7 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and winds of 11 knots at 50 degrees, with a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.

Landing on runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport in the Boeing 737-MAX8

Landing Score 92.38 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport, achieving a score of 92.4%. The final approach to runway 10 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 81.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,021 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 135 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 163 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 130 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly hard at -404 feet per minute, which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.

The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, being off by 8.7 meters. This may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a moderate wind of 11 knots at 50°. The crosswind component was relatively light at 6 knots, while the headwind component was stronger at 10 knots.

The total landing distance was 758 meters, which is approximately 33% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned with the centerline, being off by 9.6 meters. This may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-centerline.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor issues with alignment and touchdown rate. These can be addressed through further training and practice to improve the pilot's skills and reduce the risk of accidents.
