Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 183 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 158 kt against a target of 183 kt, running 25 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 183 kt.
Arrival
Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.
What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 8.2 m off the centreline.
Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout
See Arrival Rollout
A crosswind landing is a geometry problem. The air mass you're flying in is moving sideways across the runway, and you need your ground track down the centreline with your wheels aligned to it at the moment of contact. There are two techniques that will help, the crab and the sideslip.

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 2,135 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 414 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Chicago Midway International Airport (KMDW), the Boeing 737-MAX8 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As it rolled down runway 31C, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 147 knots, clearing the ground at 1,027 meters, which was 63% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 24°C, with a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 299°, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 16-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of KMDW, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,281 feet above sea level to 36,864 feet, an increase of 35,582 feet in just 16 minutes, covering a distance of 136 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which started 2 miles north of Greencastle, Indiana, and lasted for 35 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 538 nautical miles. The flight then entered a series of descents and level cruises, with the final descent beginning overhead Yonkers, New York, and ending with a landing on runway 22 at LaGuardia Airport (KLGA). The landing was characterized by a touchdown speed of 148 knots, which was slightly above the target speed, and a touchdown distance of 413 meters, which was good.
The final approach to runway 22 was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 212.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,222 feet above ground level. The landing distance was 1,215 meters, which was 57% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking area from the runway took just 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 877 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 86 minutes, during which the aircraft used 4,619 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 22 at KLGA LaGuardia Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach profile. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 212.0° at 4 nm and 1,222 ft above ground level. The aircraft's descent was smooth, with a slight deviation in threshold speed, reaching 152 kt, which was marginally above the target value.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance was satisfactory at 413 m, but the touchdown speed of 148 kt was a little fast, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -231 fpm. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating precise control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and wind at 19 kt from 170°, contributed to a crosswind of 13 kt and a headwind of 14 kt, which the crew effectively managed.
The total landing distance of 1,215 m, accounting for 57% of the runway length, was reasonable, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the crew's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, the landing performance scored 98.3%, reflecting the crew's skill and attention to detail in executing a safe and efficient landing.
