A few more facts:

Being only an amateur with PPL but having 42 year experience with danish language let me add a few things from the report:

- The Sterling was hot and high due to other traffic behind it.

- When the ATCO cleared the CRJ to line up he/she checked the position of the Sterling B737 visually. (but were probably not aware of its high speed)

- The ATCO had some troubles with the stopbar lights not responding as expected.

- The Sterling may have called short final, but there were some cross transmissions.

- The Sterling CAPT saw the CRJ stopping and decided to make a long landing touching down just before the 22L/30 intersection still having more than 2000 meters stopping distance.
He passed apprx. 20' above the CRJ


The drawing on page 8 in the AAIB report shows scenario.


RWY 22L is 3300 meters long - this could be a reason to continue the fast approach.

edit: New procedures has been established only allowing visual circuits when parallel runway operations are in use and extending the use of parallel runways.
