Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.3°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,805 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 424 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, the Boeing 737-MAX8 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As it reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 17, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 150 knots. The takeoff distance of 1,299 meters accounted for 53% of the runway, with the aircraft clearing the ground in a relatively short distance.
As the aircraft climbed out of the Minneapolis area, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,660 feet above sea level to 32,995 feet in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, with the aircraft reaching cruising altitude in a relatively short period. The enroute level cruise phase that followed was brief, lasting only 2 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 32,995 feet to 6,416 feet in 18 minutes, covering 197 nautical miles. This descent phase was followed by another brief level cruise, lasting 3 minutes and covering 16 nautical miles, before the aircraft began its final descent to the destination airport.
As the Boeing 737-MAX8 approached Chicago Midway International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 04R, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,262 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 138 knots and a touchdown distance of 425 meters. The total landing distance of 1,141 meters accounted for 71% of the runway, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a relatively short distance. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 373 nautical miles, with the aircraft consuming 2,430 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted 47 minutes.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 04R at KMDW Chicago Midway International Airport with a score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 43.0° at 4 nm and 1,262 ft above ground level. The final approach was characterized by good quality, with a smooth descent and a stable airspeed. The threshold height was well-managed, and the threshold speed of 142 kt was achieved as expected.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown characteristics were generally good. The touchdown distance of 425 m was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 138 kt was slightly above the ideal speed. However, the touchdown rate of -187 fpm was well within the safe limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a headwind of 14 kt, contributed to a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect centerline alignment. The total landing distance of 1,141 m was 71% of the runway length, indicating a well-executed landing. The aircraft's performance was consistent with the expected standards, and the overall score of 99.8% reflects the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the crew.
