Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,696 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,696 m of the 3,357 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 315 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Puerto Vallarta International Airport, the Boeing 737-MAX8 began its journey with a taxiing period of 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. As it rolled down runway 22, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 157 knots, clearing the ground at 1,719 meters, which was 55% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 259 degrees, resulting in a 6-knot crosswind and a 9-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Puerto Vallarta, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 35,008 feet in 16 minutes, covering a distance of 153 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 30 minutes and covered 457 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 35,004 feet to 37,000 feet, in just 3 minutes, covering 58 nautical miles. The final cruise phase lasted for 63 minutes, covering 1,031 nautical miles. As the aircraft began its descent, it started from an altitude of 37,006 feet and descended to 2,269 feet in 17 minutes, covering 134 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 36 at Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport was executed from the south, with a heading of 8.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,473 feet above ground level.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 landed safely on runway 36, with a touchdown distance of 316 meters, which was 49% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed was slightly fast at 145 knots, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of -10 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 50 degrees, resulting in a 7-knot crosswind and an 8-knot headwind. The aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,841 nautical miles, taking 138 minutes, and the aircraft used 9,002 kilograms of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 36 at CYWG Winnipeg / James Armstrong Richardson International Airport with a score of 99.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 8.0° at 4 nm and 1,473 ft above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a smooth and controlled descent. The threshold height was well-managed, and the threshold speed of 148 kt was achieved as expected.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was a little fast at 145 kt, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -279 fpm. However, the touchdown distance of 316 m was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of -10 °C and a 10 kt headwind, presented a moderate challenge to the pilot. The crosswind component of 7 kt was well-handled, and the aircraft's performance was not significantly affected.
The total landing distance of 1,640 m was 49% of the runway length, indicating a good utilization of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
