| Executive Summary: | The aircraft was on a scheduled passenger service between London Stansted Airport and Stockholm/Skavsta Airport, Sweden. From the passengers point of view the flight was uneventful. The Captain, who was the Pilot Flying (PF), reported that the aircraft was cleared by Air Traffic Control (ATC) for a visual approach to Runway (RWY) 08, where the weather conditions were good with visibility of more than 10 Kilometres, a light wind from the Southeast, and the runway was dry. From the commencement of descent to touchdown, the aircraft was operated at times outside normal Operator and Manufacturer’s parameters. While the landing was carried out with excessive speed and an incorrect flap configuration, the aircraft stopped within the landing distance available. The aircraft taxied to the ramp area where the passengers disembarked. The flight crew later completed the return leg to Stansted. (b) Cause This serious incident was precipitated by the temporary aberrant behaviour of the PF in disregarding the Operator’s SOP’s/CRM requirements and compounded by the inability of the PNF to counteract this behaviour in the unusual circumstances of the approach to Skavsta. |
