What went well

Touchdown 350 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 2.76 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.19 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown rate was -424 fpm at 50 %, −0.72 points
Departure Taxi — peak speed in a turn 23 kt at 75 %, −0.65 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 81 %, −0.47 points

Next time

Arrival

Close the throttles earlier on final so you cross the threshold at 144 kt rather than carrying excess speed.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 155 kt, 11 kt above the 144 kt target, and the nose was then only raised 0.5° in the flare, taking out little of the sink. Crossing the threshold fast like this usually carries extra energy into a flare that barely arrests the sink, and that combination usually ends in a firm touchdown.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 144 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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.

Flight narrative

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to runway 13R at KHOU William P Hobby Airport; the taxi-out required 21 minutes and covered 3 nm.

During the departure roll on runway 13R, the aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 1,073 m, representing 53 % of the runway, and lifted off at 156 kt. Ambient conditions were a temperature of 36 °C, wind 13 kt from 170°, with an 8 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind component.

Climb commenced approximately 1 mile southeast of KHOU, with the airplane climbing from 1,004 ft asl to 34,793 ft asl, an altitude gain of 33,789 ft achieved in 17 minutes while covering 116 nm.

The first cruise segment began 12 miles west of the LA12 Louisiana State Police Troop B Helipad in Kenner and persisted for 25 minutes, during which 475 nm were flown.

Descent started 77 miles west of Indian Rocks Beach, descending from 35,002 ft asl to 10,114 ft asl, a loss of 24,888 ft over 12 minutes and a distance of 146 nm.

A brief cruise followed 5 miles south of Four Corners, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nm.

The next descent began overhead Loughman, dropping from 9,973 ft asl to 3,004 ft asl, a decrease of 6,968 ft in 8 minutes while traveling 35 nm.

A short cruise segment over Longwood lasted 2 minutes and spanned 5 nm.

The final descent commenced over Winter Park, reducing altitude from 2,905 ft asl to 1,398 ft asl, a loss of 1,508 ft in 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.

On final approach to runway 18R at KMCO Orlando International Airport, the aircraft approached from the north on a heading of 179.0°, at 4 nm and 1,294 ft agl. Local weather reported a temperature of 31 °C, wind 12 kt from 220°, with an 8 kt cross-wind and a 9 kt head-wind component.

Landing on runway 18R, whose length is 3,662 m, the threshold speed was slightly above target at 155 kt. Touchdown occurred 348 m down the runway at a speed of 153 kt, with a hard touchdown rate of minus 424 fpm and a lateral deviation of 3.2 m from the centreline. Total landing distance measured 1,699 m, equivalent to 46 % of the runway.

Runway rollout alignment was very good.

The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.

In total, the flight covered 801 nm, took 76 minutes, and used minus 2,790 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 on a final approach to runway 18R at KMCO Orlando International Airport was aligned on a heading of 179.0° from the north, 4 nm out and 1,294 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.

At threshold the aircraft maintained a speed slightly above target at 155 kt and the threshold height was good. The flare produced a touchdown distance of 348 m, a touchdown speed of 153 kt that was a little fast, a hard touchdown rate of minus 424 fpm, and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline.

Touchdown occurred with the aircraft crossing the runway threshold at the indicated speed and rate, confirming the hard rate of minus 424 fpm and the slight 3.2 m lateral deviation while remaining within the acceptable touchdown zone. Total landing distance was 1,699 m, representing 46 % of the 3,662 m runway.

Rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centred throughout the deceleration phase.

Maintain the stabilised approach and aim point near the 300 m (1,000 ft) mark, but adjust flare timing to reduce the touchdown rate and bring speed closer to the target, which will also minimise the small lateral deviation observed.

Flare
80.6 %
The flare wandered off the target profile. The aircraft was flown onto the runway - pitch changed 0.5° and the descent was barely arrested. Touchdown was 350 m past the threshold. Start the flare with progressive back pressure rather than one pull, and keep it coming.
