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 5.9 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.
What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 0.4 ft, and this flight then touched down at 328 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,922 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,922 m of the 2,587 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 340 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 25 at EDHL Lübeck Blankensee Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,325 meters, which accounted for 69% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 249 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Krummesse, Germany. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 122 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,107 feet above sea level to 36,679 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile southwest of Luegde, Germany. This phase lasted for 91 minutes and covered a distance of 658 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 34 miles southeast of Llafranc, Spain. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 129 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,828 feet to 1,321 feet.
The final approach to runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 239.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 2,587 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 147 knots. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 144 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -404 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 1,847 meters, which accounted for 71% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.1 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 917 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 148 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5,075 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. The final approach to runway 24L was initiated from the north east, heading 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,297 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 147 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 144 knots was slightly faster than ideal, which may have contributed to a harder touchdown rate of -404 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 28°C and a light wind of 3 knots from a direction of 350°. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 1,847 meters was 71% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 13.1 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including the aircraft's speed and the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase. Despite this, the landing was still considered successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a safe distance from the runway end.
