Flight Score
Departure
Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 5.9°.
What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.
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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and wings not level.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,653 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,653 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 369 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 11 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 20 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport (Lisbon Portela Airport) in Lisbon, Portugal. The takeoff distance was 977 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 10 knots at 229 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Alvalade in the Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal. The climb took 13 minutes and covered a distance of 109 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,296 feet above sea level to 33,040 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,743 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 78 miles west of Sagres in the Distrito de Faro, Portugal. This phase lasted for 9 minutes and covered a distance of 245 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting at a latitude of 34.5855346 and a longitude of -14.4716415. The descent took 18 minutes and covered a distance of 173 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 33,003 feet above sea level to 2,998 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,005 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 9 miles south of Canico in Madeira, Portugal. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 8 miles south of Canico. The descent took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from 3,027 feet above sea level to 1,690 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,336 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south of Canico. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, approaching from the southwest at a heading of 47.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,594 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 05 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 368 meters and a touchdown speed of 120 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 5 knots at 101 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,566 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.9 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 549 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used 4,629 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a score of 92.0%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 47.0° at 1 nautical mile and 594 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,483 meters, with a good threshold height.
The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 130 knots, but the touchdown distance of 368 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 120 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 17°C, a wind speed of 5 knots at 101°, and a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance of 1,566 meters was 63% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 17.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-center.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
