Get the gear down sooner
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: 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 248 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 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, then departed from runway 35 at LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport. The takeoff distance was 891 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 160 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 339 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of LPPR Francisco de Sá Carneiro Airport. The climb took 16 minutes, during which the aircraft ascended from 1,188 feet above sea level to 39,233 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,045 feet. The enroute climb covered a distance of 102 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 70 miles northwest of Peniche, Portugal. This phase lasted 51 minutes and covered a distance of 408 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting at a latitude of 34.5616967 and a longitude of -15.3158638. The descent took 20 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 39,316 feet above sea level to 2,809 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,507 feet. The enroute descent covered a distance of 124 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles northeast of Canical, Madeira, Portugal. This phase lasted 5 minutes and covered a distance of 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 2 miles southeast of Canico, Madeira, Portugal. The descent took 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 1,744 feet above sea level to 427 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,317 feet. The final descent covered a distance of 3 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 43.0 degrees. The aircraft was at 1 nautical mile and 246 feet above ground level at this point.
The aircraft landed on runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, which had a length of 2,483 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 138 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 248 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -201 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 7 knots at 8 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 6 knots. The total landing distance was 1,112 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 656 nautical miles, and the flight took 100 minutes. The aircraft used 9,329 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft successfully landed at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a score of 95.2%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 43.0° at an altitude of 246 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 134 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 248 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -201 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.3 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a gentle wind of 7 knots at 8°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,112 meters was 45% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway and coming to a stop in a controlled manner.
