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 2,286 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,286 m of the 3,670 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 612 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Boeing 737-MAX8 began with a 4-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. The departure roll was from runway 30L, covering a distance of 1,297 meters which was 43% of the total runway length. The liftoff speed was 159 knots, with the local weather showing a temperature of 0°C, wind blowing at 12 knots from 310°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.
The enroute climb commenced overhead KMSP Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, ascending from 1,835 feet above sea level to 36,534 feet, an increase of 34,699 feet over 15 minutes and 127 nautical miles. The level cruise phase began 2 miles west of Worthington, lasting for 40 minutes and covering 347 nautical miles. The descent phase started 11 miles southwest of 7V8 Julesburg Mun Julesburg in Colorado, descending from 36,957 feet to 6,922 feet, covering a distance of 112 nautical miles over 25 minutes.
The landing was on runway 16L at KDEN Denver International Airport, with a runway length of 3,670 meters. The aircraft touched down 614 meters from the threshold at a speed of 145 knots, with a vertical speed indicator reading of -122 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 2,217 meters, which was 60% of the runway. Local weather at the time of landing indicated a temperature of 0°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots coming from 100° resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 596 nautical miles, taking a total time of 93 minutes, and consuming 3,892 kilograms of fuel.
First of all, congratulations on achieving a landing score of 94.7%! This is an impressive result that indicates a high level of skill and precision in your approach and landing techniques.
Starting with the Approach Phase, it is clear that your glideslope alignment was excellent, which is crucial for setting up a smooth and controlled landing. Additionally, maintaining a speed that was well above target suggests that you were in good control of the aircraft throughout the descent, ensuring a safe and stable approach.
Moving onto the Landing Phase, it is commendable that you had a good threshold height and executed a solid landing flare. These factors contribute to a smooth touchdown and help minimize the impact on the aircraft and its passengers.
In the Touchdown Phase, while your touchdown rate was smooth and your speed was slightly above target, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown point accuracy. Landing 208 meters beyond the touchdown zone is a significant deviation and indicates a need to refine your approach to ensure a more precise touchdown.
Furthermore, the fact that the runway touchdown position was 7.0 meters from the centerline suggests that there may have been some lateral drift during the landing. This could be addressed through enhanced runway alignment and crosswind correction techniques.
Similarly, in the Rollout Phase, the runway alignment being 6.9 meters from the centerline indicates a need for improved lateral control during the rollout. Ensuring a straight and centered rollout is crucial for safe taxiing and efficient runway operations.
Overall, your performance in the various phases of the landing process shows a high level of proficiency, with areas for potential enhancement in terms of touchdown accuracy and runway alignment. By continuing to focus on precision and control during approach and landing, you will undoubtedly see even more successful landings in the future. Keep up the great work and continue to strive for excellence in your aircraft operations!
