Flight Score
Arrival
Add power sooner on final to hold 136 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just at the threshold.
What happened: The approach was slow at the stabilisation gate, and the aircraft carried that deficit all the way to the threshold, still 27 kt below VREF; arriving that slow usually leaves little energy to cushion the flare, as it did here with a touchdown rate of 202 fpm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 136 kt at the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 13.9° off, against a 1° limit and speed 8 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 136 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 7.4° off, against a 1° limit and speed 22 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 136 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,624 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 411 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from GCTS Tenerife Sur Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey, taxiing from the parking area to the runway 07, a process that took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. As the aircraft lined up on the runway, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 270°. The takeoff roll commenced, and the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 141 kt, utilizing 36% of the available runway length of 1,139 m.
As the aircraft climbed away from Tenerife Sur, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 1,222 ft to 34,272 ft in a mere 15 minutes, covering a distance of 91 nautical miles. The climb was a testament to the aircraft's efficient performance, with a significant increase in altitude achieved in a relatively short period. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 34,272 ft for a brief 5 minutes, covering 96 nautical miles. The cruise phase was followed by a descent, which began at a latitude of 30.835838 and a longitude of -15.9242145, and continued until the aircraft reached an altitude of 1,990 ft. The descent phase was characterized by a decrease in altitude of 32,410 ft in 21 minutes, covering a distance of 118 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, it entered a final approach phase, aligning itself with the runway 05 from the southwest. The approach was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 102 kt and a distance of 418 m. The touchdown rate was a commendable -116 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 318 nautical miles, and the aircraft utilized 2,620 kg of fuel during the journey, which lasted a total of 55 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo with a smooth touchdown rate of -116 fpm, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft's speed at touchdown was 102 kt, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 418 m was also satisfactory. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 109 kt was slightly below the target, but still within the acceptable limits.
As the aircraft continued its rollout, it maintained very good alignment with the centreline, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 270 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, which further facilitated a smooth touchdown and rollout.
The overall performance of the landing was impressive, with a total landing distance of 1,237 m, which accounted for 50% of the runway length. This indicates a well-executed approach and touchdown, followed by a controlled rollout. The score of 97.2% reflects the high standard of the landing, with only minor deviations from the target threshold speed.
