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
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 36 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 36 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed 5 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 146 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 146 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,190 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 308 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Toronto Lester B. Pearson International Airport, the Boeing 737-MAX8 began its journey on runway 23, taking off with a distance of 1,415 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 160 knots, with a local temperature of 3°C and a wind of 10 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 7 knots, resulting in a relatively smooth takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute level, it ascended from 1,520 feet above sea level to 34,999 feet, an increase of 33,479 feet in 21 minutes, covering 154 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a 197-minute cruise at 34,999 feet, during which the aircraft covered 1,555 nautical miles. The descent phase began 58 miles north of the British Virgin Static Carrier - Prince of Wales, where the aircraft descended from 34,234 feet to 12,013 feet in 14 minutes, covering 91 nautical miles. The flight continued with multiple level cruises and descents, eventually approaching runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport from the west.
The final approach was executed at a heading of 81.0 degrees, 4 nautical miles from the threshold, and 1,300 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on runway 10, which had a length of 2,295 meters. The touchdown distance was 411 meters, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, with a firm touchdown rate of -354 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 34.3 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned by 34.1 meters. The total landing distance was 1,469 meters, accounting for 64% of the runway. The flight concluded with a taxiing time of 1 minute and a fuel consumption of 9,493 kilograms, covering a total distance of 1,861 nautical miles in 263 minutes.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 10 at TNCM Princess Juliana International Airport, a challenging approach due to the airport's short runway length of 2,295 meters. The aircraft's final approach from the west, heading 81.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,300 feet above ground level, was executed with good approach quality. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 139 knots was well within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown characteristics were good, with a speed of 135 knots and a firm touchdown rate of -354 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 34.3 meters from the centreline, indicating a deviation from the desired path. The touchdown distance of 411 meters was within the acceptable range, and the overall touchdown performance was satisfactory.
The rollout phase was marked by a significant misalignment of 34.1 meters from the centreline, indicating a loss of directional control during the deceleration phase. The total landing distance of 1,469 meters, accounting for 64% of the runway length, was acceptable. Despite the misalignment issues, the overall landing performance scored 82.4%, reflecting a good but not exceptional execution of the landing. Local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28°C and a headwind of 13 knots, contributed to the successful completion of the landing.
