Keep the wings level on final
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.

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 2,060 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,060 m of the 2,789 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 544 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an RJ100, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) in Iceland. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 28, with a takeoff distance of 804 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 139 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions of 8 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots at 239 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 14 knots. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,145 feet above sea level to 25,243 feet, an increase of 24,098 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 57 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started over Keflavik International Airport, and the aircraft continued to climb until it reached its cruising altitude. The enroute level cruise then began 31 miles southwest of Dagverðará Airport (BIDA) and lasted for 103 minutes, covering a distance of 604 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it started its enroute descent 52 miles east of Kangerlussuaq Airport (BGSF) in Greenland. The descent from 24,709 feet to 2,729 feet took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off 12 miles southwest of Kangerlussuaq Airport and remained at this altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at Kangerlussuaq Airport began 8 miles southwest of the airport, with the aircraft heading 60 degrees at an altitude of 1,229 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 09, which had a length of 2,789 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 120 knots.
The touchdown point was 116 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 106 knots and a touchdown rate of -76 feet per minute, which was excellent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were -5 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at 69 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,966 meters, which accounted for 70% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 739 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 142 minutes. The aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The RJ100 aircraft successfully landed at Kangerlussuaq Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 60.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,229 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 2,789 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 120 knots. The touchdown point was 116 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 106 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -76 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -5°C and a wind speed of 11 knots at 69°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centerline.
The total landing distance of 1,966 meters was 70% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
