Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 1.7°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: speed below the reference speed.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,429 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 483 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight described was operated by a Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft. The pre-flight phase involved a 6-minute taxiing process from the parking area to the runway at KDEN Denver International Airport, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the flight taxied onto the runway, it initiated departure roll on runway 25. The takeoff distance covered was 1,614 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots, marking the beginning of its ascent into the skies.
During takeoff, the local weather conditions were as follows - the temperature was a warm 26°C, while the wind was blowing at 7 knots from a southeasterly direction. The crosswind component was minimal, however the aircraft did experience a headwind of 6 knots, influencing its flight path.
The enroute climb of the aircraft started approximately 3 miles southwest of KDEN, and it steadily ascended from an initial elevation of 6,322 feet above sea level to a height of 22,415 feet, an increase of 16,092 feet over a span of 8 minutes and covering a distance of 45 nautical miles. The enroute climb was marked by a smooth and steady rate of ascent, ultimately reaching the cruising level.
Subsequently, the aircraft commenced level cruise at an elevation of 22,415 feet, 4 miles northeast of Fraser, Colorado. This phase was brief, lasting only 2 minutes, and the aircraft covered a distance of 9 nautical miles as it gained stability and speed.
As the aircraft approached its final destination, enroute descent was initiated from a height of 22,763 feet at a point 3 miles west of KFRA. The descent phase was significant, with the aircraft decreasing in elevation from 22,763 feet to 7,775 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles over the course of 12 minutes.
Upon reaching the vicinity of KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport, the final approach phase began, with the aircraft approaching runway 25 from the east. The approach was characterized by a heading of 262.0° at an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level, approximately 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
Landing on runway 25 at KEGE, the 737-MAX8 achieved a smooth touchdown at a speed of 134 knots, 74 meters beyond the threshold zone. The touchdown rate was fair, with -250 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather during the landing was marked by a temperature of 24°C and a wind blowing at 5 knots from 243°, comprising a minimal crosswind and a 5-knot headwind.
Post-landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance less than 1 nautical mile and taking a short 2 minutes. The total distance flown for the flight was 108 nautical miles, taking approximately 29 minutes and utilizing 1,155 kilograms of fuel during the course of its journey.
The Boeing 737-MAX8's controlled landing on runway 25 at KEGE Eagle County Regional Airport showcases a successful execution of aeronautical procedures. As the aircraft commenced its final approach from the east, heading 262.0°, it was at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,298 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot skillfully navigated the aircraft with a 99.7% accuracy score, indicating a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
Upon landing, the pilot demonstrated good judgment by maintaining a suitable threshold height, which was crucial in ensuring a smooth touchdown. The threshold speed was also well-managed at 142 knots, demonstrating a high level of control and anticipation by the pilot. The touchdown point was 74 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which although exceeded, was still considered a fair performance.
A closer examination of the landing parameters reveals that the touchdown speed was maintained at 134 knots, which was still within a safe range. However, the touchdown rate of -250 feet per minute (fpm) could be considered somewhat high, indicating a bit of a rough touchdown. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high level of precision and control.
The weather conditions on the day of the landing were relatively favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and relatively light winds of 5 knots at 243°. The crosswind was minimal (2 kt), and the headwind (5 kt) was manageable, allowing the pilot to maintain a smooth approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 1,399 meters, accounting for 58% of the runway, was relatively short. This is a testament to the pilot's skills and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance capabilities. The runway rollout alignment, which refers to the aircraft's alignment with the runway after touchdown, was perfect, indicating a high level of control and smoothness during the landing and post-landing phases. Overall, this landing performance showcases the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities, making it a successful event.
