Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.4°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,484 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 473 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 8 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 24 at LGRP Diagoras Airport in Rhodes, Greece. The takeoff distance was 2,140 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 170 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 220 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile west of LGRP Diagoras Airport and reaching a maximum altitude of 39,281 feet above sea level. The climb took 24 minutes and covered a distance of 135 nautical miles, with an increase in altitude of 38,236 feet.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 169 minutes and covered a distance of 1,224 nautical miles. This phase of the flight took place 25 miles west of Agios Kirykos in the North Aegean, Greece.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 9 miles east of ESMZ Ölanda Airfield in Ölanda, Sweden. The descent took 32 minutes and covered a distance of 142 nautical miles, with a decrease in altitude of 36,426 feet. The aircraft then entered the final approach phase, heading towards runway 19L at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport from the north.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 146 knots and a touchdown rate of -352 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 64 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The total landing distance was 1,445 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,510 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 243 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 8,000 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 successfully landed at ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, with a score of 96.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 190.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was conducted with a slight deviation in the threshold height, which was above the target at 55 feet agl.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots, and the touchdown point was 64 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 146 knots was a bit faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -352 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots at 150°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance was 1,445 meters, accounting for 58% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the crew demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and landing phases. However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, which could be addressed through further training and refinement of the crew's skills.
