Aircraft departed from the Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, navigating a northeasterly course towards Agua de Pena, a small settlement on the island of Madeira, Portugal. The initial climb phase commenced approximately 1 mile southeast of Agua de Pena, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 1,580 ft above sea level to 1,553 ft asl, a net gain of 27 ft over a period of 3 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, demonstrating a moderate rate of ascent.
As the aircraft approached the Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, it initiated the final approach to runway 23 from the north east, maintaining a heading of 222.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold. At an altitude of 1,365 ft above ground level, the aircraft was positioned for a landing on the 2,483-meter-long runway. However, the threshold speed was found to be excessive at 103 kt, resulting in a touchdown point that utilized more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 87 kt was also higher than optimal, while the touchdown rate of -169 fpm was satisfactory.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 27 °C, with a wind speed of 3 kt from a direction of 263°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 kt each. The total flight distance covered was 10 nautical miles, with a duration of 4 minutes. Notably, the aircraft consumed -3 kg of fuel during this flight, indicating a slight decrease in fuel mass. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.1 meters, which may be addressed in future approaches.

The final approach to runway 23 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo was initiated from the north east, heading 222.0° at 3 nm and 1,365 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was too high at 103 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal landing speed.
As the aircraft touched down, it became apparent that the touchdown point was very long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 87 kt was also fast, which may have contributed to the extended rollout. Fortunately, the touchdown rate was good at -169 fpm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error.
The aircraft's rollout was completed successfully, with the pilot maintaining control throughout. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 27 °C and a light wind of 3 kt at 263°, did not pose a significant challenge to the landing. Overall, the landing performance scored 83.0%, indicating a satisfactory but not exceptional landing.
