Departure
On the roll, make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline within 5.3 m.
What happened: The takeoff roll drifted off the centreline by 5.3 m, and excess bank then carried through all three climb segments. A drifted roll like this usually leads into wandering bank angle through the climb.
Watch for: Watch the heading indicator and runway centreline during the roll, and the attitude indicator for wings level through the climb.

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 centreline.

Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 194 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 Lisbon Portela Airport (LPPT), with a takeoff distance of 1,064 meters, which was 34% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 147 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 279°.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Alvalade, a location in the Distrito de Lisboa, Portugal. The enroute climb started at an altitude of 1,273 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 34,577 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,304 feet in 19 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted 14 minutes and covered a distance of 268 nautical miles, starting 85 miles west of Sagres, a location in the Distrito de Faro, Portugal.
The enroute descent phase began 101 miles northeast of Porto Santo Airport Vila Baleira (LPPS), located in Madeira, Portugal. The aircraft descended from 34,860 feet above sea level to 3,347 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,513 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles. Following this descent, the aircraft entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 5 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles, starting 9 miles northeast of Canical, a location in Madeira, Portugal.
The flight then experienced a series of short climbs and descents, with the aircraft climbing from 2,712 feet above sea level to 3,689 feet above sea level, an increase of 978 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then descended from 3,621 feet above sea level to 2,287 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,334 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, starting 10 miles south of Canico, a location in Madeira, Portugal.
The final climb phase began 7 miles south of Canico, with the aircraft climbing from 2,010 feet above sea level to 2,500 feet above sea level, an increase of 490 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final descent phase began 4 miles south of Canico, with the aircraft descending from 2,491 feet above sea level to 1,314 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,177 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo (LPMA), heading 41.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,126 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 05, which had a length of 2,483 meters. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 119 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 193 meters. The touchdown speed was 116 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -226 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.4 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 16.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a score of 93.2%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 41.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,126 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 119 kt, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 193 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 116 kt was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.
Despite the good touchdown speed and distance, the touchdown rate of -226 feet per minute was only fair. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown, which could be attributed to various factors such as wind conditions or pilot technique.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.4 meters, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout alignment issues. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, with a wind speed of 4 kt at 10°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,146 meters was 46% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned from the centreline by 16.0 meters, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position being off-centre.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and rollout alignment, which could be addressed through further training or adjustments to the pilot's technique.
