Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 1.9° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 141 fpm.
What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.
Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 331 fpm.
See Arrival Landing
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,716 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,716 m of the 2,946 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 341 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 19 at LTBS Dalaman International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,823 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots at 199 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of Dalaman International Airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles south of the airport. The climb took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 104 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,029 feet above sea level to 37,966 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,936 feet. The enroute level cruise started 3 miles north of LTFB Selçuk Efes Airport and lasted for 92 minutes, covering a distance of 622 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 1 mile northwest of Csaszartoltes, a location in Bacs-Kiskun county, Hungary. The descent took 26 minutes and covered a distance of 125 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 37,356 feet above sea level to 1,722 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,634 feet. The final approach to runway 31 at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 314.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 31 at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 341 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 132 knots, and the touchdown rate was -180 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 149 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 860 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 146 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,753 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 31 from the south east, heading 314.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,272 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot's control of the aircraft during the approach was impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 140 knots. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent, aligning the aircraft with the runway threshold. The touchdown distance of 341 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 149°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 1 knot and a tailwind component of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The pilot's ability to adapt to these conditions and maintain a stable approach is a testament to their skill and experience.
The aircraft's touchdown speed of 132 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -180 feet per minute (fpm) was good. This indicates that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable touchdown, minimizing the risk of damage to the aircraft or injury to the passengers.
However, the pilot did experience a slight deviation from the centerline during the rollout, with the aircraft being 12.5 meters off-centerline. This was a minor issue, but it highlights the importance of maintaining precise control during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft's landing at LZIB M. R. Štefánik Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency in their approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's performance was good, and the pilot's ability to adapt to the local weather conditions was impressive.
