Flight Score
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 7 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 6.4 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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: seven 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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 0.9° against the runway's 3°, centreline 8.5° off, against a 1° limit and speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 138 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,624 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 518 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Boeing 737-800 taxied from the parking area to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport, a movement that lasted 10 minutes and covered less than 1 nm.
The aircraft commenced its departure roll on runway 02, accelerating through a takeoff distance of 1,094 m (29 % of the runway) and rotating at 138 kt. Local weather reported a temperature of 17 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 2 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
Climb began overhead Camarate, with the airplane climbing from 1,338 ft asl to 38,188 ft asl, an increase of 36,850 ft achieved in 18 minutes while covering 114 nm.
A level cruise segment started 67 miles west of Vila do Bispo, lasting 2 minutes and covering 10 nm.
Descent commenced 73 miles west of Sagres, descending from 37,870 ft asl to 37,015 ft asl, a loss of 854 ft in 2 minutes over 11 nm.
A subsequent cruise phase began 80 miles west of Sagres, lasting 33 minutes and covering 243 nm.
Descent resumed at latitude 34.563832, longitude -14.5020512, with the aircraft descending from 36,768 ft asl to 3,625 ft asl, a decrease of 33,143 ft in 24 minutes while covering 135 nm.
Another cruise segment started 6 miles south-west of LPPS Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira, lasting 2 minutes and covering 5 nm.
Descent followed 13 miles south-west of LPPS, dropping from 3,019 ft asl to 2,134 ft asl, a loss of 885 ft in 2 minutes over 5 nm.
A further cruise began 10 miles north-east of Canical, lasting 8 minutes and covering 18 nm.
Descent continued 4 miles south-east of Canico, descending from 1,875 ft asl to 679 ft asl, a reduction of 1,197 ft in 3 minutes across 5 nm.
Final approach to runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport was executed, with the aircraft descending from 377 ft agl to 290 ft agl in 48 seconds and scoring on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 05, whose length is 2,624 m, occurred with a threshold speed of 127 kt (slightly below target). Touchdown was recorded 107 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 116 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 109 fpm and a lateral deviation of 6.3 m from the centreline. Local weather at the time was 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, cross-wind 1 kt and tail-wind 1 kt.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 1,219 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and runway-rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight logged 551 nm, required 105 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 4,220 kg of fuel.
