Flight Score
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 4.4° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 4.4° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,063 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,063 ft of the 11,039 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,764 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Princess Juliana International Airport, the Boeing 737-MAX8 began its journey with a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The aircraft then took off from runway 10, utilizing 4,435 feet of the available runway, which accounted for 59% of its length. The takeoff speed of 156 knots was achieved, and the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, which featured a temperature of 80°F and a gentle headwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it began its ascent 1 mile south of Marigot, Saint Martin, and continued to rise to 31,919 feet above sea level, a gain of 30,944 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 67 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started 32 miles southeast of Virgin Gorda Airport, lasting 31 minutes and covering 198 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 18 miles west of Rincon, Puerto Rico, and continued to descend to 1,367 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,635 feet in 26 minutes, covering 133 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 35 at Las Américas International Airport, Santo Domingo, was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 344.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,111 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 landed on runway 35, utilizing 43% of the available runway length of 11,068 feet. The touchdown point was 387 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 131 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -147 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 4,786 feet, and the taxiing period to the parking area took 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 413 nautical miles, with a flight time of 80 minutes and a fuel consumption of 6,138 pounds.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 35 at MDSD Las Américas International Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -147 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 142 kt, allowing for a controlled descent. The touchdown point was 387 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which, although slightly beyond the ideal, still demonstrated a high level of precision.
The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a smooth touchdown speed of 131 kt. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of skill and control from the pilot. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 73 °F and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The aircraft's performance was further enhanced by the minimal crosswind component of 2 kt.
The total landing distance of 4,786 ft, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating a high level of control and precision from the pilot. Overall, the landing was scored at 95.8%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and skill.
