MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive climb is confirmed, before reaching the target retraction height.
What happened: Gear retraction was delayed, with the gear not coming up until 689 ft agl.
Watch for: Landing gear: up by the normal retraction gate
Arrival
Hold the approach aim point and let the aircraft settle onto 457 m instead of holding it off in the flare.
What happened: Touchdown point came 106 m past the target, landing at 563 m against the 457 m aim point, with threshold speed and the flare both within limits.
Watch for: Touchdown distance marker: 457 m from the threshold.
Make sure that you retract the landing gear once you have a positive rate of climb and there is no usable runway left to land back on.

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 2,739 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 563 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A321neo taxied from the parking area to runway 01R at KSFO, covering 3 nm in 21 minutes.
During the departure roll on runway 01R, the aircraft used 1,633 m of runway, representing 66 % of the available length, and lifted off at 166 kt. Local weather at the time was 24 °C with wind 5 kt from 329°, a cross-wind component of 4 kt and a head-wind component of 3 kt.
The initial climb began 1 mile north-east of KSFO, climbing from 938 ft asl to 33,091 ft asl, an increase of 32,153 ft achieved in 20 minutes while covering 142 nm.
Level cruise commenced 19 miles east of Sierra Village and continued for 141 minutes, during which 1,146 nm were flown.
A subsequent climb started 1 mile north of KDEY Dewey Airport, rising from 33,017 ft asl to 34,459 ft asl, a gain of 1,442 ft in 2 minutes over a distance of 13 nm.
The next cruise segment began 1 mile north of H66 Nowata Municipal Airport and lasted 42 minutes, covering 347 nm.
A further climb was initiated 6 miles east of Falkner, increasing altitude from 35,042 ft asl to 35,730 ft asl, a rise of 688 ft in 2 minutes while traveling 17 nm.
The following cruise started 4 miles south of Burnsville and lasted 9 minutes, during which 81 nm were traversed.
Descent began 2 miles west of 4AL8 Milton Airport, descending from 34,927 ft asl to 2,279 ft asl, a loss of 32,648 ft in 21 minutes and covering 130 nm.
On final approach to runway 08L at KATL, the aircraft descended from 1,306 ft agl to 34 ft agl in 105 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 08L, which is 2,739 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 132 kt. Touchdown was recorded 161 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 126 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 14 fpm and a lateral deviation of 5.1 m from the centreline. Local conditions were 24 °C, wind 11 kt from 70°, a cross-wind of 4 kt and a head-wind of 10 kt. Total landing distance was 1,340 m, representing 49 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,885 nm, required 252 minutes of flight time, and consumed 10,234 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737-MAX 8, scored 95.6%, made a final approach to runway 02 at PHOG Kahului International Airport from the south-west on a heading of 35.0° at 3 nm and 1,162 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits. Local weather was temperature 24 °C, wind 14 kt from 59°, providing a 13 kt headwind and a 6 kt crosswind.
During the threshold and flare phase the runway length of 2,136 m offered a good threshold height. Threshold speed was good at 151 kt and the touchdown distance was good at 411 m.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 145 kt, described as a little fast, with a fair touchdown rate of minus 230 fpm. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.4 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 1,187 m, representing 56 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.6 m from the centreline.
Refine centreline tracking to reduce the 10 m-plus offset observed at touchdown and during rollout, and adjust flare timing to bring touchdown speed closer to the target without exceeding it. Maintaining these minor adjustments will help preserve the high overall score.
