Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 16°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,451 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 433 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 22L at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,211 meters, which was 75% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 152 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 6°C and wind speeds of 5 knots at 120°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile east of Bedford Park, Illinois. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,633 feet above sea level to 38,148 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,516 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 163 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles northwest of Adrian, Michigan, and lasted for 25 minutes, covering a distance of 437 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead NK83 Nettie's Place Airport in Delanson, New York. The descent from 37,562 feet above sea level to 1,402 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,160 feet, took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 125 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 35 at KMHT Manchester-Boston Regional Airport was made from the southeast, heading 333.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,154 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 35 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 434 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 152 knots, while the touchdown rate was firm at -345 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -7°C. The total landing distance was 1,228 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 732 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used 3,628 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The final approach to runway 35 was conducted from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 333.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,154 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 152 kt, suggesting that the pilots may have been slightly aggressive in their approach. Despite this, the touchdown distance of 434 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing.
The touchdown speed of 147 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to the firm touchdown rate of -345 feet per minute. A firmer touchdown rate can be a concern, as it may indicate that the aircraft is touching down with too much force, potentially leading to a bumpy ride or even damage to the aircraft. However, in this case, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots were able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were cold, with a temperature of -7°C. This may have affected the aircraft's performance and handling, but it did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,228 meters was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely and within the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilots were able to maintain control and stability throughout the landing and rollout.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach, landing, and rollout.
