Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 183 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 32 kt fast at 215 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 183 kt in the climb
Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 212 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,625 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,625 m of the 4,304 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 466 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 06R at LTFJ Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 06R, the takeoff run measured 1,464 m, representing 41 % of the runway length, and the aircraft lifted off at 156 kt; ambient temperature was 24 °C with a wind of 8 kt from 39°, a 3 kt crosswind component and a 7 kt headwind component.
Climb commenced approximately 1 mile east of LTFJ, with the aircraft ascending from 1,341 ft asl to 35,002 ft asl, an increase of 33,662 ft achieved in 24 minutes while covering 173 nm.
Cruise began about 14 miles north-east of Sultandagi (Afyonkarahisar, Turkey) and persisted for 184 minutes, during which the flight traversed 1,448 nm at level altitude.
Descent was initiated roughly 33 miles south-west of OIBK Kish International Airport, with the aircraft descending from 34,068 ft asl to 1,319 ft asl, a loss of 32,750 ft over 25 minutes and a distance of 135 nm.
The final approach to runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport was conducted from the south-east, on a heading of 301.0° at 4 nm and 1,279 ft agl; local conditions were 35 °C, wind 2 kt from 150°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
Landing on runway 30L, which is 4,310 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 151 kt, a touchdown point 54 m beyond the touchdown zone, and a touchdown speed of 144 kt; the touchdown rate was fair at minus 211 fpm and the touchdown position was offset 4.8 m from the centreline, with total landing distance recorded as 1,548 m (36 % of runway).
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good following the landing.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 4 minutes, covering 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 1,765 nm, required 243 of elapsed time, and consumed 9,141 kg of fuel.
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 conducted the final approach to runway 30L at OMDB Dubai International Airport from the south-east, tracking a heading of 301.0° at 4 nm and 1,279 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high; ambient conditions were 35 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 150°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 2 kt tailwind.
At threshold the aircraft presented a good threshold height and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 151 kt. The flare proceeded from the established height without further comment.
Touchdown occurred 54 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 144 kt, described as a little fast, and a fair vertical rate of minus 211 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 1,548 m, representing 36 % of the runway length.
Rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline through the deceleration phase.
Given the 99.0 % score, the landing was overall excellent; focus on achieving a stabilized approach sink rate and reducing touchdown speed to the target value to eliminate the minor excesses observed. Maintaining precise speed control will also help keep the touchdown point within the designated zone.
