Improve the taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,795 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 391 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-600, then departed from runway 19L at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. The takeoff distance was 611 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 190 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. The climb took 20 minutes and covered a distance of 115 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,688 feet above sea level to 40,134 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,445 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 8 miles north east of Eidfjord, Norway. This phase lasted for 47 minutes and covered a distance of 347 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 62 miles east of Nolsoy, Faroe Islands. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 82 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 40,061 feet above sea level to 929 feet above sea level, a decrease of 39,132 feet.
The final approach to runway 12 at EKVG Vágar Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 115.0 degrees at an altitude of 661 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 12, which had a length of 1,795 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 118 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 387 meters, and the touchdown speed was 106 knots, which was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate was firm at -324 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.1 meters. The total landing distance was 711 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 548 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 96 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,718 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-600 aircraft successfully landed at EKVG Vágar Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 115.0° at an altitude of 661 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The pilot's control of the aircraft during the final approach was excellent, with a threshold speed of 118 knots being achieved. This speed is considered good for a landing, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to maintain a stable approach. The touchdown distance of 387 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's rate of descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 106 knots, which is a good speed for a landing, indicating that the pilot had successfully slowed the aircraft down to a safe speed. The touchdown rate of -324 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and had not allowed it to touch down too heavily.
However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline of the runway, with the aircraft touching down 4.1 meters off-center. This deviation is relatively minor and may be due to a variety of factors, including wind or pilot error.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were relatively favorable for the landing, and the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely in these conditions is a testament to their skill and experience.
The total landing distance of 711 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and had not allowed it to touch down too far down the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's rotation and had not allowed it to skid or slide excessively.
Overall, the Boeing 737-600 aircraft's landing at EKVG Vágar Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency in their approach and landing procedures. The aircraft's performance was excellent, and the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely in a variety of conditions is a testament to their skill and experience.
