Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 183 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 42 kt fast at 225 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 183 kt in the climb
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 211 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,960 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 480 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 12R at OMDB Dubai International Airport in 5 minutes, covering 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 12R, the takeoff run measured 1,529 m, representing 43 % of the runway length, and the aircraft lifted off at 158 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 37 °C, wind 2 kt from 210°, with a 2 kt cross-wind and no head-wind component.
The initial climb commenced 2 mi south-east of OMDB, climbing from 964 ft asl to 27,266 ft asl, an altitude gain of 26,302 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 146 nm.
A short level cruise began 8 mi east of FM04 Gulf of Oman Moving Carrier CVN78 and lasted 2 minutes, during which the aircraft travelled 12 nm.
A second climb segment started 20 mi east of the same carrier, ascending from 27,795 ft asl to 31,006 ft asl, a gain of 3,211 ft in 7 minutes over a distance of 53 nm.
The next cruise phase originated 54 mi north-east of Muscat, lasting 95 minutes and covering 749 nm.
Descent began 51 mi south-east of Diu, descending from 31,000 ft asl to 12,123 ft asl, a loss of 18,876 ft in 12 minutes while traversing 75 nm.
A further level cruise was initiated 15 mi west of Borivli, lasting 7 minutes and encompassing 32 nm.
The final descent started overhead Amarnath, dropping from 10,792 ft asl to 1,345 ft asl, a decrease of 9,447 ft in 14 minutes and covering 56 nm.
On final approach to runway 27 at VABB Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, the aircraft approached from the east on a heading of 269.0°, at 4 nm and 1,310 ft agl.
Landing on runway 27 was executed with a runway length of 2,960 m; the threshold speed was 146 kt. Touchdown occurred 60 m beyond the touchdown zone at 138 kt, with a touchdown rate of -265 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. Local conditions were 30 °C, wind 6 kt from 260°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 6 kt head-wind. Total landing distance was 1,348 m, representing 46 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,132 nm, required 166 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 6,612 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 approached runway 27 at VABB from the east on a heading of 269.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,310 ft agl. The final approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
At threshold the height was good and the threshold speed was good at 146 kt, confirming the aircraft was correctly configured for landing.
Touchdown occurred 60 m beyond the touchdown zone with a touchdown speed of 138 kt that was good. The touchdown rate was fair at minus 265 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,348 m, representing 46 % of the 2,960 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.
With a final score of 99.5 % the landing was excellent; refining the touchdown point to land closer to the designated zone and moderating the descent rate toward the target will further optimise performance.
