Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.2°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope, off the centreline and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 256 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 13 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 20 at Lisbon Portela Airport (LPPT), with a takeoff distance of 838 meters, which was 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 148 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 15 knots at 10°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Alvalade, a location in the Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal. The climb from 1,340 feet above sea level to 37,246 feet above sea level was a significant increase of 35,905 feet, achieved in 23 minutes and covering a distance of 135 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 73 miles west of Sagres, a location in the Distrito de Faro, Portugal, and lasted for 95 minutes, covering a distance of 262 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 40,624 feet above sea level to 9,987 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,637 feet, achieved in 11 minutes and covering a distance of 72 nautical miles. This descent started at a location with a latitude of 34.5280269 and a longitude of -14.5510375. The aircraft then entered a series of level cruises, starting 52 miles north-east of Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira, a location in Madeira, Portugal, and lasting for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent from 10,001 feet above sea level to 1,837 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,164 feet, achieved in 7 minutes and covering a distance of 33 nautical miles. This descent started 43 miles north-east of Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 9 miles north-east of Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira, and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 23 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began a climb from 2,083 feet above sea level to 3,006 feet above sea level, an increase of 923 feet, achieved in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This climb started 13 miles south-west of Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 7 miles north-east of Canical, a location in Madeira, Portugal, and lasting for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began a descent from 2,987 feet above sea level to 2,181 feet above sea level, a decrease of 806 feet, achieved in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This descent started 9 miles south of Canico, a location in Madeira, Portugal. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, starting 7 miles south of Canico, and lasting for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo (LPMA) was made from the south-west, with a heading of 46.0° at 1 nautical mile and 588 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 05 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 255 meters, a touchdown speed of 110 knots, and a touchdown rate of -98 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centreline.

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a score of 96.6%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 46.0° at 1 nautical mile and 588 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed of 113 knots was well below the target, indicating a controlled approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 255 meters and a touchdown speed of 110 knots. The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with an excellent rate of -98 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.7 meters from the centreline, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 18 knots at 39°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 18 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance was 888 meters, which is 36% of the runway length of 2,483 meters. This indicates a relatively short landing distance, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, which is essential for safe and efficient taxiing. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's performance was commendable, considering the favorable weather conditions and the aircraft's capabilities.
