Canadian Xpress May 2016 Challenge: Dangerous Airports XII

Madeira Airport (LPMA), formerly known as Santa Catarina Airport and informally known as Funchal Airport, is an international airport in the civil parish of Santa Catarina, municipality of Santa Cruz, in the Portuguese archipelago of Madeira.

The airport was once infamous for its short runway which, surrounded by high mountains and the ocean, made it a tricky landing for even the most experienced of pilots. Its innovative solution allowed Funchal to receive the Outstanding Structure Award in 2004 by the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering, which aims at recognizing the most remarkable, innovative, creative or otherwise stimulating structure completed within the last few years. Nevertheless, it is still considered one of the most peculiarly perilous airports in the world.

Your mission is to depart from Lisbon (LPPT) and head to Madeira (LPMA) with the Canadian Xpress freeware or payware Boeing 757-200F which is available to all pilots regardless of rank, but only for the challenge.
