Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 8.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 305 m and 152 m above the runway.
At the 305 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 2,404 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 706 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05, with the aircraft lifting off at a speed of 170 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 23°C, a wind speed of 7 knots at 332°, resulting in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 294 meters above sea level to 3,556 meters above sea level, an increase of 3,262 meters, in just 6 minutes and covering a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles, before beginning its descent from 3,701 meters above sea level to 1,655 meters above sea level, a decrease of 2,045.3 meters, in 3 minutes and covering 14 nautical miles.
The flight continued with multiple enroute climb and level cruise phases, with the aircraft reaching an altitude of 9,146 meters above sea level and then climbing further to 10,364 meters above sea level. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 10 minutes and covering 104 nautical miles, before beginning its descent from 10,574 meters above sea level to 612 meters above sea level, a decrease of 9,961.6 meters, in 21 minutes and covering 111 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28 at Faro Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 282.0° at 4 nautical miles and 381.1 meters above ground level. The landing took place on a runway length of 2,404 meters, with the threshold height at 20.2 meters above ground level being above the target. The touchdown speed was good at 141 knots, and the touchdown point was 289 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was also good at 130 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -0.5 meters per second.
The total landing distance was 1,216 meters, which was 51% of the runway length. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.7 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centreline. The flight then concluded with the aircraft taxiing to the parking area, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight distance was 513 nautical miles, taking 79 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,918 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LPFR Faro Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 282.0° at 4 nautical miles and 381.1 meters above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 28, which has a length of 2,404 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 289 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 130 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown rate was also excellent at -0.5 meters per second. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 10.7 meters, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing position.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 315°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 8 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance was 1,216 meters, accounting for 51% of the runway length.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centerline by 10.9 meters, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal path. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance of the Airbus A320 was satisfactory, with a good touchdown speed and excellent touchdown rate.
