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 12 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.

Side view — the last 1,826 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,826 m of the 3,185 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 406 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 07 at GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,963 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 168 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 21 knots at 39 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 10 knots and a headwind of 19 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead El Medano in the Canary Islands, Spain. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 115 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,230 feet above sea level to 38,334 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,103 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 23 miles west of El Cotillo in the Canary Islands, Spain. This phase lasted for 20 minutes and covered a distance of 153 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 85 miles northwest of GMAT Tan Tan Airport in Tan Tan, Morocco. The descent took 28 minutes and covered a distance of 133 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 38,232 feet above sea level to 1,546 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,686 feet.
The final approach to runway 27 at GMAD Al Massira Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 272.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,314 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 406 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 133 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -330 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots at 110 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 1,747 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 410 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 82 minutes. The aircraft used 2,612 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at GMAD Al Massira Airport, achieving a high score of 96.2%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 272.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,314 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 139 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 406 meters, and the touchdown speed was maintained at 133 knots, which is a good indication of the pilot's control and precision during the landing.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position or a minor deviation in the pilot's control inputs. Additionally, the crosswind component was relatively low at 2 knots, but the tailwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance was 1,747 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision during the landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the aircraft's position or a minor deviation in the pilot's control inputs.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and precision. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance, which may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the pilot's technique. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 5 knots at 110°, were relatively calm and did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The aircraft's performance in the landing was satisfactory, with a good touchdown speed and a short touchdown distance. However, the slight misalignments during the landing and rollout may indicate a need for further refinement of the pilot's technique or adjustments to the aircraft's systems.
