Landing on runway 05 at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo in the Boeing 737-800

Landing Score 94.26 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at LPMA Madeira International Airport Cristiano Ronaldo, achieving a score of 94.3%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 47.0° at 1 nautical mile and 203 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down on the runway.

The touchdown speed of 148 knots was slightly above the target speed, indicating a slightly faster-than-ideal landing. However, the touchdown distance of 429 meters was within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.8 meters, which may require some adjustments during future landings.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 18°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 220°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. These conditions likely contributed to a relatively smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 1,191 meters was 48% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely on the runway. However, there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and alignment.
