Landing Summary

The Boeing 737 MAX 8 conducted the final approach to runway 17R at KDEN from the north, maintaining a heading of 180.0° at 4 NM and 1,056 ft AGL. Local conditions were temperature 95 °F, wind 12 kt from 187°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 12 kt head-wind.

The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 152 kt.

Touchdown occurred 376 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 146 kt described as a little fast. The vertical rate at touchdown was fair at minus 253 fpm and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 17 ft from the centreline. Total landing distance was 5,010 ft, representing 42 % of the 12,023 ft runway.

Runway rollout alignment was very good.

Reduce the approach and flare speed to meet the target threshold speed and bring touchdown speed closer to the optimum to keep the touchdown point within the designated zone. Maintaining precise lateral alignment will further ensure the touchdown remains within a few feet of the centreline.
