I'm only a PPL so can someone estimate what the landing speed should have been, roughly? Looking at those OpenATC screenshots I find it strange how they went from a normal -700ft/min descent at 09:24:23 to -1344ft/min and -1216ft/min at 09:24:38 and 09:24:53, respectively. They then recover this descent back to a normal rate after that, though with an increasing loss in speed. Am I right in thinking they were above the glidescope initially, then tried to reintercept it, which seems to be when the problems started. So maybe the question is why were they high initially, and did they just do a bad job of flying the rest of the approach?


Please read the thread. This was asked and answered earlier on.
