Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 134 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 156 kt, 22 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 134 kt at liftoff

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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 385 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A320 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Porto Santo Airport, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 36, with the aircraft lifting off after a takeoff distance of 826 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees. The crosswind was also 1 knot, while the headwind was negligible. The enroute climb started shortly after, with the aircraft ascending from 1,334 feet above sea level to 2,889 feet, an increase of 1,555 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 8 minutes and covering a distance of 29 nautical miles. This phase began 3 miles north of Porto Santo Airport. The final approach to runway 23 at Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 225.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,859 feet above ground level.
The landing took place on runway 23, which had a length of 2,483 meters. The threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 118 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 386 meters, although the touchdown speed was a little fast at 118 knots. The touchdown rate was very hard at -502 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions during the landing were 15°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 972 meters, accounting for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 37 nautical miles, lasting 30 minutes and consuming 1,021 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a score of 96.7%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north east, heading 225.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,859 feet above ground level (agl).
The final approach to runway 23 was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 118 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 386 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown rate of -502 feet per minute (fpm) was quite high, suggesting a hard touchdown, but this did not seem to affect the overall performance of the aircraft.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even smoother. The runway length of 2,483 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 972 meters, which was only 39% of the runway length.
The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The rollout alignment after touchdown was also perfect, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop.
Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 96.7%. The only areas for improvement were the slightly fast touchdown speed and the hard touchdown rate, but these did not seem to have any significant impact on the overall performance of the aircraft.
