Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,050 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 271 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-900, then departed from runway 04A at BGGH Nuuk Airport in Greenland. The takeoff distance was 635 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 161 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 26 knots from a direction of 230 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 13 knots and a tailwind of 22 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of BGGH Nuuk Airport and ascending from 1,033 feet above sea level to 32,441 feet above sea level, an increase of 31,408 feet in 24 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which started at a latitude of 64.5943621 and a longitude of -47.2142434. This phase of the flight lasted for 169 minutes and covered a distance of 522 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 82 miles southwest of Hellissandur in Iceland and descending from 32,854 feet above sea level to 2,401 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,453 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 124 nautical miles.
The enroute descent was followed by a brief level cruise, which started 4 miles east of Vogar in Iceland and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 28 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport from the east, heading 270 degrees at an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was executed on runway 28, which had a length of 3,050 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 140 knots. The touchdown distance was 272 meters, and the touchdown speed was also 140 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -623 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions were the same as before, with a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 26 knots from a direction of 230 degrees.
The crosswind was 16 knots, and the headwind was 20 knots. The total landing distance was 1,253 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. After landing, the aircraft took 4 minutes to taxi to the parking, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 775 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 129 minutes. The aircraft used 6,311 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-900 aircraft successfully landed at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) on runway 28, achieving a high score of 94.6%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,299 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, indicating a precise and controlled descent. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 140 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown distance of 272 meters was within acceptable limits, further highlighting the pilot's skill and control.
However, the touchdown rate was slightly heavy at -623 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly steeper-than-desired descent angle. Nevertheless, this did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 26 knots from 230°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 16 knots and a headwind component of 20 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway during the rollout phase, achieving a very good runway rollout alignment.
The total landing distance of 1,253 meters was 41% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
