Hold the approach angle
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.
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 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 316 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 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an ATR 72, then departed from runway 12 at GCXO Tenerife Norte-Ciudad de La Laguna Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,066 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 120 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at 150 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead La Laguna in the Canary Islands, Spain. The climb took 17 minutes and covered 33 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 2,889 feet above sea level to 16,430 feet above sea level, an increase of 13,541 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted 43 minutes and covered 158 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 31 miles north of Tegueste in the Canary Islands, Spain. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 64 miles south of Sao Martinho in Madeira, Portugal. The descent from 16,024 feet above sea level to 14,128 feet above sea level took 4 minutes and covered 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 47 miles south of Camara de Lobos in Madeira, Portugal. The aircraft then began another descent, starting 38 miles south of Camara de Lobos. The descent from 13,707 feet above sea level to 11,338 feet above sea level took 4 minutes and covered 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered 9 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 18 miles south of Sao Martinho in Madeira, Portugal. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 10 miles south of Sao Martinho. The descent from 11,324 feet above sea level to 1,697 feet above sea level took 12 minutes and covered 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 23 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo was made from the north-east, heading 228.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,527 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 315 meters and a touchdown speed of 96 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -314 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 24 knots at 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 23 knots. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centreline.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 278 nautical miles, taking 102 minutes, and the aircraft used 876 kilograms of fuel.
The ATR 72 aircraft successfully landed at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a score of 92.4%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 228.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,527 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 106 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 315 meters was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 96 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -314 feet per minute was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.
However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline, which could have been caused by the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's response to the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 24 knots at 210°. The crosswind component was relatively low at 6 knots, while the headwind component was 23 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position.
Overall, the landing was considered good, with the aircraft touching down within the expected range and the pilot maintaining control throughout the landing process. However, the minor deviations from the ideal landing performance may indicate areas for improvement in terms of pilot training or aircraft handling.
