Improve the takeoff
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.

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.
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.
The 233 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight on the Boeing 737-800 started with a smooth 8-minute taxi from the parking area to the runway at GCLP Gran Canaria. The departure roll on runway 03L covered 2 nm, with a takeoff distance of 1,130 m, representing 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 152 kn, with the local weather at a comfortable 22°C, with a 2 kn wind coming from 332° resulting in a 2 kn crosswind and headwind.
The enroute climb began over GCLP Gran Canaria, where the aircraft ascended from 1,060 ft asl to 32,112 ft asl in 18 minutes, covering 94 nm. The flight then reached the enroute level cruise 68 miles northeast of Tegueste, lasting 35 minutes and covering 110 nm.
As the journey progressed, the enroute descent commenced 89 miles southeast of Canico, Portugal. The descent saw the aircraft decreasing from 32,133 ft asl to 1,815 ft asl over 22 minutes, covering 86 nm. The landing was on runway 05 at LPMA Madeira, with the runway being 2,483 m in length. The aircraft approached at 17 ft agl with a speed of 128 kn. The touchdown occurred 235 m from the threshold at a speed of 124 kn and a VSI of -88 ft/m. The weather at LPMA Madeira was a balmy 22°C, with a 6 kn wind coming from 19°, resulting in a 2 kn crosswind and 5 kn headwind.
The total landing distance was 1,265 m, representing 51% of the runway. Finally, a brief 2-minute taxi from the runway to the parking area covered less than 1 nm. The flight covered a total distance of 299 nm, lasting 104 minutes and consuming 3,049 kg of fuel.
Congratulations on achieving an impressive aircraft landing score of 99.7%! Let's break down the different phases of the landing to see where you excelled and where there may be room for improvement.
During the Approach Phase, your glideslope alignment was excellent, which is crucial for a smooth and controlled descent towards the runway. However, it seems like your speed was slightly below target. Keep in mind that maintaining the correct approach speed is vital for a safe and precise landing.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your threshold height was good and the landing flare was executed perfectly. This indicates that you approached the runway at the correct altitude and smoothly transitioned to the landing phase. It's essential to maintain consistency in your approach height and landing technique to ensure a safe touchdown every time.
In the Touchdown Phase, your touchdown rate was excellent, and your speed was on target. Additionally, landing within the touchdown zone and positioning the aircraft 2.6 meters from the centerline of the runway demonstrates a high level of precision and control. These are all crucial elements for a successful landing and contribute to the overall smoothness and safety of the maneuver.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, your runway alignment was very good, showing that you maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing rollout. Keeping the aircraft centered on the runway during this phase is essential for a safe and efficient exit from the landing area.
Overall, your performance during the aircraft landing was highly commendable, with many aspects showcasing excellent skill and precision. It's important to continue practicing and refining your techniques to consistently achieve such high scores. Keep up the great work and strive for perfection in every phase of the landing process. With dedication and continued improvement, you're sure to reach even greater heights in your aircraft handling skills.
