Landing on runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 83.68 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 aircraft successfully landed at Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 45.0° at an altitude of 163 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The final approach was made to runway 05, which has a length of 8,147 feet.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 421 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 156 knots was also higher than recommended, indicating that the aircraft may have been touching down too aggressively. Furthermore, the touchdown rate was extremely heavy at -870 feet per minute, which can put excessive stress on the aircraft's landing gear and other components.

In addition to the issues with the touchdown, the runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 30 feet from the centreline, which can make it more difficult for the aircraft to maintain control during the rollout phase. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centreline, which can increase the risk of the aircraft drifting off the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 72°F and winds of 4 knots from 349°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. Despite the calm weather, the pilot's decision to land with a high threshold speed and aggressive touchdown may have contributed to the issues experienced during the landing.

Overall, while the aircraft was able to land safely, the landing was not without its issues, and the pilot may need to review their technique to improve the accuracy and smoothness of the landing.
