Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 1.4° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 3.3° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 152 m gate: off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 378 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at GCFV Fuerteventura Airport, a process that took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 01, with a takeoff distance of 1,297 meters, which accounted for 67% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 14 knots at a direction of 29 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. The aircraft then took off and began its enroute climb, which started overhead GCFV Fuerteventura Airport El Matorral, located in the Canary Islands, Spain. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 313 meters above sea level to 8,534 meters above sea level, an increase of 8,220.4 meters, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 80 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 47 miles northwest of Caleta de Sebo, also located in the Canary Islands, Spain, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 140 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 82 miles southeast of Canico, Madeira, Portugal. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 8,538 meters above sea level to 125 meters above sea level, a decrease of 8,412.7 meters, in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 84 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo was made from the southwest, heading 45.0 degrees, at an altitude of 71.3 meters above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was made on runway 05, which had a length of 2,483 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 128 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 376 meters, and the touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was perfect at 0.3 meters per second.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 31 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 965 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 306 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 44 minutes. The aircraft used 883 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a score of 95.5%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the southwest, heading 45.0° at 1 nautical mile and 71.3 meters above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 05, which has a length of 2,483 meters.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target, coming in at 128 knots. This was still within a safe margin, and the touchdown distance of 376 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of 0.3 meters per second was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been caused by a slight drift in the aircraft's direction during the rollout.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 31°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots, which was relatively light and did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, there were some minor issues with the alignment of the aircraft during the rollout, which may require further attention and training to improve.
