Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.

What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 17 ft off the runway centreline.

Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Apply steady, continuous back pressure through the flare to arrest the sink smoothly and hold the normal profile, rather than letting it drift.

What happened: The flare did not hold its target profile, with the sink most arrested at 5.3 ft, and this flight then touched down at 330 fpm of sink - a firm arrival. An unsettled flare profile like this usually carries through to a firmer touchdown.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, steadily decreasing sink rate through the flare to touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Landing on runway 17 at PHKO Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole in the Boeing 737 MAX 8
Landing Score 90.47 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at PHKO Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole, achieving a score of 90.5%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, heading 185.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,265 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft's approach speed was within the target range, with a threshold speed of 142 knots, which is considered good. However, the threshold height at 67 feet agl was above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 133 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -304 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating a controlled descent.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 561 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the ideal touchdown position. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 16 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's alignment during future approaches.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot, which had a negligible impact on the landing.

The total landing distance of 4,481 feet was 41% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled rollout.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good score despite some minor deviations from the ideal approach path. However, the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position and the above-target threshold height may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach procedures to improve future landings.
