Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,620 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,622 ft 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 31R at KDAL Dallas Love Field. The takeoff distance was 4,626 feet, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 153 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 299°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of KDAL Dallas Love Field, and climbed from an altitude of 1,500 feet above sea level to 3,902 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,401 feet, in just 1 minute and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting overhead Farmers Branch, Texas, and lasting for 2 minutes while covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, starting 1 mile north of University Park, Texas, and climbed from 3,975 feet above sea level to 39,680 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,706 feet, in 21 minutes and covering a distance of 111 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting 9 miles east of Moran, Texas, and lasting for 40 minutes while covering a distance of 267 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent phase, starting 11 miles southeast of KCAX Carlsbad Airport, Carlsbad, New Mexico, and descended from 39,817 feet above sea level to 5,249 feet above sea level, a decrease of 34,568 feet, in 22 minutes and covering a distance of 107 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 22 at KELP El Paso International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 230.0°, at an altitude of 4 nautical miles and 1,320 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 22, which had a length of 10,620 feet. The threshold height at 62 feet above ground level was above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 148 knots.
The touchdown point was 266 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -253 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 56°F and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 296°, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 3,472 feet, which accounted for 33% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 50 feet from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 502 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 101 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 7,913 pounds.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at KELP El Paso International Airport, with a final approach from the northeast at a heading of 230.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,320 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The landing was executed on runway 22, which has a length of 10,620 feet.
The threshold height at 62 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when it reached the threshold of the runway. However, the threshold speed was good at 148 knots, suggesting that the pilot maintained a suitable speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 266 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 140 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -253 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown relatively well. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway at touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 56°F and winds of 16 knots at 296°. The crosswind component was 14 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 3,472 feet, which is 33% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft effectively during the approach and landing.
However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 50 feet from the centerline, which may indicate that the pilot was not able to maintain a perfectly aligned path during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
