MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Nothing to change in the speed, the height or the flare. Keep the landing attitude held until the mains are on, so the aircraft is not let down onto the runway in the last moment.
What happened: The touchdown rate was 310 fpm. Nothing before it explains that: threshold speed and height were within limits and the flare was flown normally.
Watch for: Touchdown rate: a little less than 310 fpm next time
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

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 2,211 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 337 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to runway 27 at EGGP Liverpool John Lennon Airport in 7 minutes, covering 2 nm.
Take-off was performed on runway 27. The aircraft used 1,112 m of runway (49 % of the available length) and rotated at 152 kt. Local weather at departure was 11 °C with a wind of 26 kt from 260°, giving a 26 kt headwind and a 3 kt crosswind.
Initial climb to 1,000 ft agl took 18 seconds, averaging 2,254 fpm and reaching 172 kt at the top of the climb. The climb continued from 1,025 ft asl to 34,770 ft asl in 20 minutes, covering 132 nm while remaining overhead EGGP.
The aircraft levelled at 35,000 ft asl for 93 minutes, covering 729 nm, beginning the cruise about 1 mile north of Pangbourne.
Descent began from 34,992 ft asl to 1,682 ft asl in 24 minutes, covering 133 nm, starting 3 miles south-east of Porto Azzurro.
Final approach to runway 15 at LIRA Ciampino-G. B. Pastine International Airport started from 1,348 ft agl and descended to 85 ft agl in 92 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. The landing gear was down at 3,133 ft agl with a speed of 183 kt; the final flap position 7 was selected at 2,673 ft agl with a speed of 176 kt.
Landing was made on runway 15, whose length is 2,211 m. The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 153 kt. The flare was described as perfect. Touchdown occurred 337 m down the runway at 148 kt, a little fast, with a firm rate of minus 311 fpm and very good alignment. No bounce was observed. Total landing distance was 1,319 m (60 % of the runway) and the rollout alignment was perfect. Local weather at landing was 18 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 180°, giving a 6 kt headwind and a 3 kt crosswind.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
The flight covered a total of 1,003 nm in 148 minutes and used 5,444 kg of fuel.
