Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,044 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 403 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, an RJ85, then departed from runway 19R at ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen, with a takeoff distance of 1,277 meters, which was 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 141 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 189°. This resulted in a headwind of 9 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south of ENGM Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 81 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,711 feet above sea level to 29,697 feet above sea level, an increase of 27,985 feet.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 9 miles west of Fagernes. This phase lasted for 124 minutes and covered a distance of 780 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 13 miles south of BISV Skálavatn Airport Skálavatn. The descent took 22 minutes and covered a distance of 101 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 28,393 feet above sea level to 1,420 feet above sea level, a decrease of 26,973 feet.
The final approach to runway 01 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport was made from the south, with the aircraft heading 360° at an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 01, which had a length of 3,044 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was 115 knots. The touchdown distance was 371 meters, and the touchdown speed was 107 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was also good at -164 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 215°. This resulted in a tailwind of 3 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.7 meters. The total landing distance was 905 meters, which was 30% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 971 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 179 minutes. The aircraft used 6,473 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) with a score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading directly towards the runway 01, which is 4 nautical miles away and at an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a steady course, and the pilot executed a smooth landing on the 3,044-meter runway.
The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was achieved at 115 knots, which is a good indicator of the pilot's control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown distance of 371 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 107 knots was well-managed, resulting in a touchdown rate of -164 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered good.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 6.7 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to the crosswind or tailwind conditions, which were relatively light, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 215 degrees. The temperature was 6 degrees Celsius, which is slightly below average.
Despite the minor deviation, the total landing distance of 905 meters was only 30% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop safely on the runway.
