Funchal Final - Runway 05 at Aeroporto Internacional da Madeira Cristiano Ronaldo (FNC/LPMA). The circling approach over the Atlantic turning towards the island's steep green ridges is one of the most spectacular and challenging in the world. The runway itself has recently been extended and the end section is now partially built on large 70m tall supporting pillars, similar to constructions used in bridges. The airport has been renamed after one of the world's elite strikers in football: Real Madrid's superstar and Madeira native Cristiano Ronaldo.
