Flight Score
Departure
Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.
What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 5.3°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.
Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to 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: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,811 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,811 m of the 2,483 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 700 m past the threshold — beyond 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 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300, then departed from runway 10 at Simón Bolívar International Airport (SVMI). The takeoff distance was 1,159 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 171 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 92 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile northwest of Maiquetia, Venezuela. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 128 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,153 feet above sea level to 34,984 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 251 minutes and covered a distance of 2,230 nautical miles. The cruise phase started 34 miles west of La Blanquilla Airport (SVLB) in Venezuela. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 35,132 feet to 37,125 feet, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles in just 3 minutes.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 69 minutes and covered a distance of 594 nautical miles. This phase started at a location with coordinates 30.1131062 degrees latitude and -29.539494 degrees longitude. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 57 miles southwest of Paul do Mar in Madeira, Portugal. The descent took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 81 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 37,093 feet to 1,822 feet.
The final approach to runway 23 at Madeira International Airport (LPMA) Cristiano Ronaldo was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 227.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,609 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 23, which has a length of 2,483 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots.
The touchdown point was 294 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 143 knots. However, the touchdown rate was good at -156 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 228 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, while the headwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,741 meters, which is 70% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 3,073 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 371 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 46,251 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a score of 95.7%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, heading 227.0° at an altitude of 1,609 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold speed being slightly above the target at 151 knots. The touchdown point was 294 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 143 knots was a little fast, which may have contributed to the slightly longer landing distance.
Despite the minor deviations, the touchdown rate was good at -156 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at 228°. The crosswind was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the successful landing.
The total landing distance was 1,741 meters, which is 70% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.7%. The minor deviations from the ideal landing spot and slightly fast touchdown speed did not significantly impact the outcome, and the favorable weather conditions likely contributed to the successful landing.
