Arrival
In the last part of the flare, hold a little more back pressure to fully arrest the sink before the mains touch down.
What happened: Threshold speed and height were within limits, and the flare began on time and arrested the sink normally; even so, the touchdown rate was 231 fpm, a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smooth, gentle rate at touchdown
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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 8,863 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,309 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the Boeing 737-MAX8 began its journey with a taxiing period of 7 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile to reach the runway. The departure roll commenced on runway 17, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 162 knots after a takeoff distance of 5,914 feet, which accounted for 64% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 83°F, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 100°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its initial cruising altitude, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of SAEZ Minister Pistarini International Airport, reaching a height of 35,814 feet above sea level after an increase of 34,855 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 151 minutes, covering a distance of 2,328 nautical miles. The flight continued with multiple enroute climbs and level cruise phases, with the aircraft experiencing a final descent from 40,003 feet above sea level to 4,054 feet above sea level in 12 minutes, covering a distance of 80 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 12 at MKJP Norman Manley International Airport from the west.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 landed safely on runway 12 at MKJP Norman Manley International Airport, with a touchdown distance of 1,301 feet, which was 43% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 126 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -322 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,430 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 257 minutes and a fuel consumption of 35,200 pounds.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 touched down on runway 12 at MKJP Norman Manley International Airport with a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft maintained a threshold speed of 130 kt, meeting the required standards. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance of 1,301 ft was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 126 kt was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate of -322 fpm was firm, but not excessive, suggesting a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 ft from the centreline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the approach or a slight drift during the final stages of the landing. However, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 83 °F and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, were not particularly challenging. The aircraft's performance was further aided by a minimal crosswind component of 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 3,793 ft, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored at 96.7%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
