Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 13 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 12° of bank in the first climb segment and 5.8° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final so speed bleeds back to 140 kt by the threshold, rather than carrying it in.
What happened: This flight crossed the threshold 7 kt above the target speed, then began the flare 18 ft above the normal band. Carrying speed like this across the threshold usually keeps the flare high and ends in a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 140 kt at the threshold.
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: speed 59 kt FAST on the reference speed of 140 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 21 kt FAST on the reference speed of 140 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,796 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 581 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Aircraft departed from Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) on runway 10, taking off with a liftoff speed of 167 kt. The takeoff distance covered 49% of the runway, at 1,494 meters. Local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 1 °C, with a wind speed of 15 kt at 129 °, resulting in a crosswind of 10 kt and a headwind of 11 kt.
The enroute climb phase began overhead Reykjanesbaer, with the aircraft ascending from 1,183 ft asl to 32,995 ft asl, an increase of 31,812 ft in 24 minutes, covering 155 nm. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, lasting 23 minutes and covering 183 nm, approximately 29 miles south of Fagurhólsmýri Airport (BIFM). The enroute descent phase commenced 90 miles west of Sorvagur, with the aircraft descending from 32,430 ft asl to 1,828 ft asl, a decrease of 30,601 ft in 20 minutes, covering 126 nm.
The final approach to runway 30 at Vágar Airport (EKVG) was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft heading 298.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,562 ft agl. However, a go-around was executed at 217 ft agl. The aircraft subsequently landed on runway 30, with a touchdown point 167 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 148 kt, which was fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -236 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 1,203 m, covering 67% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute and covering less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 547 nm, taking 96 minutes, and the aircraft used 4,526 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 30 at EKVG Vágar Airport from the south east was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 298.0° at 4 nm and 1,562 ft above ground level. The approach was conducted in a manner that allowed for a good threshold height, setting the stage for a controlled touchdown. However, the threshold speed of 148 kt was significantly above the target, indicating a potential for a higher-than-desired touchdown speed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft touched down 167 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a speed of 148 kt, which was fast. The touchdown rate of -236 fpm was fair, suggesting a moderate deceleration. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.3 m from the centreline, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 5 °C and a wind of 13 kt at 280°, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 kt, while the headwind component was 12 kt, which may have contributed to the slightly higher-than-target threshold speed.
The total landing distance of 1,203 m was 67% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was scored 93.2%, reflecting a good performance in terms of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout alignment, despite some minor deviations from the target threshold speed and touchdown position.
