MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so the speed is back to 139 kt before the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: Speed was still fast at the stabilisation gate, and crossing the threshold 23 kt above target usually carries a fast touchdown with it.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 139 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 305 m gate: gear still up, no landing flap set, glideslope 4.1° against the runway's 3° and centreline 1.8° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 152 m gate: gear still up, no landing flap set, glideslope 4.0° against the runway's 3°, centreline 1.7° off, against a 1° limit and speed 23 kt FAST on the reference speed of 139 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 328 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 departed Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) on runway 01, applying a takeoff roll of 1,381 m which represented 45 % of the available runway. Rotation was achieved at 127 kt. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind from 356° at 5 kt, no cross-wind and a 5 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced one mile west of Reykjanesbær, rising from 327 m asl to 1,286 m asl - an increase of 958.8 m - over three minutes while covering 13 nm.
A second climb segment began four miles north of Gardur, ascending from 990 m asl to 4,627 m asl, a gain of 3,636.8 m achieved in 13 minutes and spanning 54 nm.
Descent started five miles north-west of Sandgerði, descending from 1,285 m asl to 945 m asl - a loss of 340.1 m - in three minutes and over a distance of 15 nm.
Further descent was initiated eighteen miles south of Stokkseyri, dropping from 4,672 m asl to 544 m asl, a reduction of 4,128.0 m accomplished in 11 minutes while covering 36 nm.
During the final approach to Vestmannaeyjar Airport (BIVM), the aircraft reduced altitude from 561.6 m agl to 18.3 m agl in 82 seconds, meeting the required stabilisation gates.
Touchdown occurred seventeen miles south-east of BIVM, with the aircraft descending from 13.3 m agl to 0.0 m agl in three seconds. The touchdown speed was 162 kt, the vertical rate was minus 1.2 m/s, and the touchdown point was 328 m down the runway. Local weather at the time was 15 °C, wind 5 kt from 356°, a 4 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt tail-wind component.
The landing rollout was recorded at an altitude of 2 m asl and covered a distance of 61 m.
In total the flight covered 124 nm, required 59 minutes of airborne time and consumed 1,501 kg of fuel.
