Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 26 ft off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Hold the aim point and wait for the speed to bleed before raising the nose, starting the flare within the normal band instead of 52 ft.
What happened: The flare began at 52 ft, 7.2 ft earlier than the normal band.
Watch for: Radio altimeter: start the flare within the normal flare band
See Arrival Landing
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,170 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,735 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima, Peru, the Boeing 737-MAX8 began its journey on runway 16L. Taxiing to the runway took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. With a local temperature of 84°F and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, the aircraft took off with a liftoff speed of 167 kt, utilizing 74% of the 7,004 ft runway. The aircraft then climbed to a height of 34,999 ft, an increase of 33,896 ft, in 24 minutes, covering 154 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started overhead Carmen De La Legua Reynoso, and the aircraft continued to ascend to a cruising altitude of 34,999 ft. Following a 105-minute level cruise, covering 819 nautical miles, the aircraft began its second climb, this time to 37,013 ft, an increase of 2,021 ft, in just 3 minutes, covering 27 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, lasting 105 minutes, covering 815 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached its destination, it initiated a descent from 37,000 ft to 1,272 ft, a decrease of 35,728 ft, in 27 minutes, covering 140 nautical miles.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 began its final approach to runway 08 at Punta Cana International Airport, with a heading of 74.0° and an altitude of 1,220 ft above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 10,170 ft runway, with a touchdown point 386 ft beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 138 kt and touchdown rate of -172 fpm were both within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 ft from the centreline. Following a successful landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 8 minutes and covering 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,966 nautical miles, taking 281 minutes, and the aircraft used 21,926 lbs of fuel.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 08 at MDPC Punta Cana International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing the crew to maintain a stable approach profile. The threshold speed of 147 kt was well within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed approach. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a speed of 138 kt, which was also within the desired parameters. The touchdown rate of -172 fpm was good, demonstrating a controlled and smooth touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 386 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was not considered a significant deviation. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 ft from the centreline, but this was quickly corrected during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 79 °F and a gentle wind of 5 kt at 130 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by very good alignment, with the pilot maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. The total landing distance of 4,442 ft, which accounted for 44% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered a success, with a score of 98.1% reflecting the crew's proficiency and attention to detail.
