Flight Score
Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 2.7°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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.
The approach that landed joined below the 500 ft gate, after a go-around. The gate assessed on the earlier approach is not shown - it was not the landing's.
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.
Touched down 611 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Lisbon Portela Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 10 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 02, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,152-meter stretch of the runway, which comprised 37% of the total length. At a liftoff speed of 151 knots, the aircraft successfully took to the skies, with a local temperature of 17°C and wind conditions of 9 knots at 70 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Camarate, Portugal, and continued its ascent to 36,595 feet above sea level, a gain of 35,255 feet in just 21 minutes, covering a distance of 140 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase commenced 83 miles west of Sagres, Portugal, and lasted for 14 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 358 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft began its descent, starting 9 miles northeast of Porto Santo Airport, Vila Baleira, Madeira, Portugal, and descended from 36,965 feet to 1,309 feet above sea level, a decrease of 35,656 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft lined up with runway 05 at Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, approaching from the southwest at a heading of 36.0 degrees. However, a go-around was initiated at 0 feet above ground level. The aircraft subsequently landed on runway 05, with a touchdown point 182 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 107 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -107 feet per minute was smooth. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,046 meters, or 42% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 655 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 5,015 kilograms of fuel during the journey, which lasted 77 minutes.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo with a satisfactory approach quality, despite a slight deviation from the ideal heading. The aircraft was established on the final approach from the south west, heading 36.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,113 feet above ground level. The approach was characterized by a good threshold height, with the aircraft maintaining a safe distance from the runway surface.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 107 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -107 feet per minute, indicating a well-controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating by 3.3 meters from the centreline. The threshold speed of 112 knots was well below the target, necessitating caution to avoid stalling. The touchdown point was 182 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which was not ideal but did not compromise the safety of the landing.
The aircraft's rollout was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft tracking closely to the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,046 meters, which represented 42% of the runway length. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind of 25 knots at 20°, contributed to a challenging landing environment. The crosswind component of 11 knots and the headwind component of 23 knots required the pilots to make adjustments to maintain control of the aircraft. Overall, the landing was scored 95.0%, reflecting a good performance despite some minor deviations from the ideal.
