Improve the rollout
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 5,951 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,951 ft of the 9,849 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,103 ft 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport). The takeoff distance was 4,385 feet, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 329 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Camarate, a location in the Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 68 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,346 feet above sea level to 29,967 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,621 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 4 miles south of Comenda, a location in the Distrito de Portalegre, Portugal. This phase lasted for 18 minutes and covered a distance of 140 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 2 miles southwest of Talavera de la Reina, a location in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 70 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 29,695 feet above sea level to 3,174 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,520 feet.
The final approach to runway 32R at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 322.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,214 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 32R, which had a length of 9,849 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 135 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 1,109 feet, and the touchdown speed was 129 knots, which was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -240 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 18 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 48 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 350 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The total landing distance was 5,685 feet, which accounted for 58% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 6 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 286 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 67 minutes. The aircraft used 6,546 pounds of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LEMD Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport on runway 32R. The final approach was executed from the southeast, heading 322.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,214 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 135 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 1,109 feet, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown speed was also good at 129 knots. However, the touchdown rate was slightly below average at -240 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired.
One notable aspect of the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline. This deviation may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's technique to achieve a more precise touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 48°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from 350°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a relatively smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 5,685 feet was 58% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and the runway's length of 9,849 feet. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. However, the slightly misaligned touchdown position and the slightly steeper-than-desired touchdown rate are areas for improvement.
