Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nosewheel on and wait for the speed to reach 152 kt before rotating.
What happened: You rotated early, lifting off at 133 kt against a target of 152 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator approaching 152 kt before you rotate.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 132 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 130 kt against a VREF of 132 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 132 kt at the stabilisation gate.
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: speed 76 kt FAST on the reference speed of 132 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 24 kt FAST on the reference speed of 132 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 3,050 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 367 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A320ceo taxied from the parking area to runway 12 at EKVG Vágar Airport, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 12 the aircraft used 1,195 m, representing 67 % of the runway, and lifted off at 133 kt. Local conditions were temperature 11 °C, wind 4 kt from 340 °, with a 3 kt crosswind and a 3 kt tailwind component.
Climb began about 1 mile southeast of EKVG, with the airplane climbing from 1,045 ft asl to 37,535 ft asl, an increase of 36,490 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 126 nm.
Level cruise was established at latitude 62.8024206, longitude -11.3899344 and continued for 33 minutes, during which 233 nm were flown.
Descent started 11 miles north of BIMK Múlakot Airport, descending from 38,032 ft asl to 1,414 ft asl, a loss of 36,618 ft over 18 minutes and a distance of 98 nm.
The final approach to runway 10 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 90.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,256 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred on runway 10, whose length is 3,050 m; the threshold speed was 131 kt, touchdown distance measured 368 m, and touchdown speed was 129 kt. The aircraft descended at a rate of minus 255 fpm, with perfect runway alignment at touchdown. Local weather reported temperature 11 °C, wind 11 kt from 110 °, a 4 kt crosswind and a 10 kt headwind. Total landing distance was 1,132 m, representing 37 % of the runway.
During rollout the aircraft deviated slightly, ending 10.1 m off the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Overall, the flight covered 464 nm, required 83 minutes of flight time, and consumed 3,300 kg of fuel.
The Airbus A320ceo entered the final approach to runway 10 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport from the west on a heading of 90.0° at 4 nm and 1,256 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits, and the local weather was 11 °C with wind 11 kt from 110°, providing a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind component.
Threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was good at 131 kt.
Touchdown occurred 368 m down the runway at a speed of 129 kt, noted as a little fast, with a touchdown rate of minus 255 fpm described as fair. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect, the total landing distance was 1,132 m (37 % of the 3,050 m runway), and the score for the landing was 95.6 %.
Rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 m from the centreline.
A minor reduction of touchdown speed toward the 131 kt target will help tighten the vertical profile and further shorten the landing distance. Fine-tuning the de-crab timing can bring rollout alignment within centreline tolerance.
