First of all thankyou for the replys, i have a better idea now on the approach and minimums.

A pilot did private mail me his notes on Madeira and it does mention at D6 outbound, to have the landing flaps selected and start the turn, as already mentioned by LSM

So why would i wait till D6.5 or D7 for the turn? I know once you turn you align yourself with the white banana sheds which you can see on my addon scenery, Madeira.

I do insert a waypoint after FUN - FUN212/6 on the outbound and this is my turning point.

I also inster GELO 0850 ft before the RWY and ROSRO.

Today its been very gusty but within limits showing on the chart. I had to configure quite early than the usual inbound FUN D7 flaps 1, D6 flaps 5 etc as i've had strong tailwinds of 27kts.
