Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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.

Side view — the last 1,623 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,623 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 339 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 36L at EHAM Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. The takeoff distance was 1,002 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northeast of Vijfhuizen, a location in the province of Noord-Holland, the Netherlands. The climb took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 81 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,000 feet above sea level to 34,754 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Grembergen, a location in Flanders, Belgium. This phase lasted for 30 minutes and covered a distance of 225 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time starting overhead Moulins-le-Carbonnel, a location in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The climb took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 13 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 35,356 feet to 37,116 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started overhead Ize, a location in the Pays de la Loire region of France. This phase lasted for 140 minutes and covered a distance of 1,067 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 94 miles northeast of LPPS Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira, a location in Madeira, Portugal. The descent took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 121 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 37,107 feet to 1,534 feet.
The final approach to runway 23 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo was made from the northeast, with a heading of 226.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,356 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which had a length of 2,483 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 146 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 338 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 145 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -354 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 8 knots at a direction of 200 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 7 knots. The total landing distance was 1,541 meters, which accounted for 62% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,517 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 222 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 25,352 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach to runway 23 was executed from the north east, with a heading of 226.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,356 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's approach and landing performance were satisfactory, with a good threshold height and speed of 146 knots. The touchdown distance of 338 meters was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 145 knots was slightly higher than the recommended speed, indicating a slightly firm touchdown rate of -354 feet per minute (fpm).
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a moderate headwind of 7 knots. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, which contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,541 meters was 62% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a controlled and stable rollout.
Overall, the landing performance of the Boeing 777-300 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo was impressive, with a high score and a smooth, stable approach and landing.
