Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 183 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 164 kt against a target of 183 kt, running 19 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 183 kt.
Arrival
Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.
What happened: Touchdown drifted 21 ft off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 21 ft.
Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it through touchdown and rollout.
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. 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 8,497 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,807 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Dallas Love Field, the Boeing 737-MAX8 began its journey on runway 13L, taking off with a distance of 4,468 feet, which accounted for 61% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 155 knots, overcoming a headwind of 14 knots and a crosswind of 6 knots. The local temperature of 98 degrees Fahrenheit and wind conditions of 15 knots at 160 degrees contributed to the challenging takeoff environment.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute altitude, it began its ascent from 1,461 feet above sea level, reaching a maximum altitude of 38,009 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 152 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching its cruising altitude over the TS20 C Lazy T Ranch Airport in Seymour, Texas. The enroute level cruise phase lasted for 162 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,207 nautical miles. The descent phase began over Prosser, Washington, where the aircraft started its gradual descent from 38,001 feet to 1,698 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 137 nautical miles in 26 minutes.
The final approach to runway 34L at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 0.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,266 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 147 knots, resulting in a touchdown point 437 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 137 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate was perfect at 0 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 feet from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 3,450 feet, accounting for 41% of the available runway. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 10 minutes. The total flight distance was 1,506 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 231 minutes and a fuel consumption of 17,296 pounds.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 34L at KSEA Seattle–Tacoma International Airport with a threshold speed of 147 kt, slightly above the target. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the touchdown phase. At 137 kt, the touchdown speed was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of 0 fpm was perfect, indicating a controlled descent.
The touchdown point was 437 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within a manageable distance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 15 ft from the centreline, but the rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and correct for any deviations. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 66 °F and a 10 kt headwind, contributed to a relatively stable approach.
The total landing distance of 3,450 ft was 41% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. Overall, the landing was scored 98.0%, reflecting the pilot's skill and control during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent, and the pilot's ability to adapt to the local weather conditions was evident throughout the landing.
