- The Sterling may have called short final, but there were some cross transmissions.
That is not correct - there was no communication from the Sterling aircraft after they acknowledged the they should report on short final (At time 20:41:17).
There was only one cross transmission mentioned in the report, which occured when the controller attempted to stop the Cimber CRJ from lining up.
- 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 Sterling FC saw the CRJ entering the runway - and
thought it was stopping - but did not know this - and in fact the CRJ was still moving at this point.
As for the long landing - I personally think that is was a result of selecting Flap 30 at 200' with a speed of 157 knots - which must result in balooning the aircraft - maybe a 737 driver can comment on that.
