Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 183 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 50 kt fast at 233 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 8.1 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 6.6 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Speed at this height is usually bought with gradient. It's rarely dangerous and it's often just an early acceleration, but with flaps still out you may be heading towards the flap limit and a flat fast climb puts you at the acceleration altitude with the cleaning-up still to do.

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 1,557 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,557 m of the 2,989 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 545 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Birmingham International Airport (EGBB) on runway 33, the Boeing 737-MAX8 accelerated down the 1,351-meter takeoff distance, which accounted for 58% of the available runway. At a liftoff speed of 167 knots, the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind of 20 knots at 260 degrees. The crosswind component was 18 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Chelmsley Wood, Solihull, England, at an altitude of 1,361 feet above sea level. Over the course of 18 minutes, the aircraft ascended to 36,532 feet, an increase of 35,171 feet, while covering 109 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 1 mile northeast of South Harting, West Sussex, England, and lasted 71 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 538 nautical miles. The descent phase began 4 miles west of Ribes de Freser, Catalunya, Spain, and the aircraft descended from 36,743 feet to 3,663 feet in 30 minutes, covering 173 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 24L at Palma de Mallorca Airport (LEPA) was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 238.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,292 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 136 knots, and the touchdown point was 126 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 127 knots, and the touchdown rate was -230 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,473 meters, accounting for 57% of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the total flight distance was 855 nautical miles, with a fuel consumption of 4,545 kilograms.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 24L at LEPA Palma de Mallorca Airport, demonstrating a satisfactory approach quality. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,292 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway heading of 238.0°. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition into the landing phase.
As the aircraft touched down, it maintained a speed of 127 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -230 feet per minute (fpm) was slightly below the optimal rate, indicating a slightly longer than ideal deceleration. The touchdown point was 126 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which was a minor deviation. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 5.8 meters from the centerline, but this was quickly corrected during the rollout phase.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by excellent alignment with the centerline, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The total landing distance of 1,473 meters was 57% of the runway length, which was within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C and a headwind of 8 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing. Overall, the landing was scored 95.3%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
