Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 11,549 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,901 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Punta Cana International Airport, the Boeing 737-MAX8 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 6 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway threshold, it initiated its departure roll on runway 08, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 151 knots. The takeoff distance of 5,120 feet was achieved at 50% of the runway length, with a local temperature of 84°F and wind conditions of 4 knots at 40°.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it began its ascent from 1,041 feet above sea level to 37,005 feet, a vertical increase of 35,964 feet in 19 minutes, covering 127 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a 108-minute enroute level cruise, during which the aircraft covered 802 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 5 miles south of Santo Domingo, with the aircraft descending from 37,013 feet to 12,045 feet in 14 minutes, covering 74 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 01 at Jose Maria Córdova International Airport was initiated from the south, with the aircraft touching down 559 feet beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 132 knots.
The landing performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown rate of -98 feet per minute and a total landing distance of 3,919 feet, which was 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline. 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 1,047 nautical miles, with a flight time of 159 minutes and a fuel consumption of 12,326 pounds.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 01 at SKRG Jose Maria Córdova International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, characterized by a good threshold height and speed of 140 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down at a speed of 132 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -98 fpm was particularly impressive, demonstrating excellent control and precision.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's wheels made contact with the runway 559 ft beyond the designated touchdown zone. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating 18 ft from the centreline. However, the pilot maintained control, and the aircraft continued to roll out along the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 68 °F and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance of 3,919 ft was 34% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short roll-out. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, deviating 30 ft from the centreline, the pilot managed to maintain control and bring the aircraft to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, earning a score of 95.9%.
