Landing Summary

The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at EKVG Vágar Airport, with a final approach from the north-west direction. The aircraft was at an altitude of 288 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway when it began its descent. The heading of 118.0° ensured a precise approach to runway 12.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 150 kt, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 152 kt. However, the touchdown distance of 239 meters was within the acceptable range, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown rate of -668 feet per minute (fpm) was considered heavy, suggesting that the aircraft may have touched down with a bit too much force.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.8 meters, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the pilot's control during the final stages of the landing. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control after touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 11 kt from a direction of 0°. The crosswind component was 10 kt, while the tailwind component was 5 kt. These conditions were not particularly challenging for the aircraft, and the pilots were able to execute a safe and controlled landing.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 93.0%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters, the pilots were able to compensate and execute a safe and controlled touchdown.
