Sasuke's Susanoo couldn't fly before he got the Rinnegan though. Madara is faster and stronger than Sasuke, it pains me to say it as I do prefer Sasuke's character. Sasuke used Amaterasu over his Susanoo against Ay so I doubt it can burn through Susanoo, especially given the mythology behind the techniques. Kirin would be a problem for Madara if Sasuke could use it in succession but that's about it I'm afraid, even without giving Madara wood release and Sage Mode from Hashi's face on his chest. Though I dare to say that Sasuke at some point between 699 and 700 will have surpassed Madara, probably not Juubi Jinchuuriki Madara but all of his other forms yes.
