Flight Score
Arrival
Shallow the descent on final to re-intercept the glideslope and cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: The aircraft was off the glideslope during the approach, tracking low against the required path.
Watch for: Watch the glideslope indicator and threshold height, targeting 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,954 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 5.9° against the runway's 3° and centreline 3.5° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 5.2° against the runway's 3°.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,974 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 489 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Copenhagen Kastrup Airport, the Boeing 737-600 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. With the local weather conditions at 24 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt, the aircraft took off from runway 22R, utilizing 297 meters, or 10% of the runway, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 139 kt.
As the aircraft climbed out of Copenhagen, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 39,973 feet above sea level in 42 minutes, covering a distance of 276 nautical miles. The climb was characterized by a steady increase in altitude, with the aircraft eventually reaching its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise phase that followed lasted for 197 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1,403 nautical miles. The descent phase that preceded the final approach to Narsarsuaq Airport was initiated at a latitude of 61.8598755 and a longitude of -41.0438892, with the aircraft descending from 40,001 feet to 3,634 feet above sea level in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 131 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at Narsarsuaq Airport was conducted from the southwest, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 112 kt, slightly above the target speed. The touchdown point was 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 903 meters, or 46% of the runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,826 nautical miles, with the aircraft using 10,981 kilograms of fuel during the 268-minute flight.
The Boeing 737-600 touched down on runway 06 at BGBW Narsarsuaq Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, despite a slightly above-target threshold speed of 123 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, and the threshold height was good, allowing for a controlled touchdown. At 112 kt, the touchdown speed was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -90 fpm was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled impact.
The touchdown point was 67 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within a reasonable distance. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11 °C and a gentle tailwind of 3 kt, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, further reducing the complexity of the landing.
The total landing distance of 903 m was 46% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 98.7%. While there were some minor deviations from the ideal, the crew's skills and the aircraft's performance ensured a safe and controlled landing.
