Flight Score
Arrival
Wait for the normal flare band and the correct speed before raising the nose, rather than starting the flare at 76 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 76 ft, 31 ft above the normal band, and the touchdown followed at 335 fpm. Starting the flare this early usually carries through to a firmer arrival than a flare begun in the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: hold the flare start within the normal flare band
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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 3,184 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 360 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 335 fpm arrival was firm.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 departed SYCJ Cheddi Jagan International Airport on runway 06. The take-off roll used 1,540 m, which is 68 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 146 kt. Local weather was 30 °C with wind 7 kt from 080°, giving a 4 kt crosswind and a 6 kt headwind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 21 seconds, averaging 1,945 fpm and reaching 171 kt at the top. The aircraft then climbed from 1,072 ft asl to 35,526 ft asl in 19 minutes, covering 123 nm, beginning about 1 mile north-east of SYCJ. Cruise was level at 35,500 ft asl for 13 minutes, covering 99 nm, starting 22 miles east of Mabaruma. Descent began from 35,110 ft asl to 1,349 ft asl in 20 minutes, covering 98 nm, starting 64 miles south-east of Rio Claro.
On final approach to runway 10 at TTPP Piarco International Airport, descent from 1,352 ft agl to 2 ft agl took 110 seconds. Stabilisation checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway were met for gear down, landing flap, sink rate, glideslope, centreline, speed and wings level. Configuration changes were: landing gear down at 2,645 ft agl at 155 kt; final flap position 7 at 2,493 ft agl at 153 kt; autopilot disconnected at 1,160 ft agl at 135 kt.
Landing on runway 10 was on a good threshold with a threshold speed of 130 kt. The flare was described as very good and started early. Touchdown occurred at 360 m down the runway, at 119 kt, with a firm rate of minus 335 fpm and perfect alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 1,116 m, 35 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to parking in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total flight covered 330 nm in 65 minutes and used 2,079 kg of fuel.
