  • that looked like it was a bit of a fast approach

  • @Brandon757ful

    This is normal speed of jets landing. The selected approach speed is probably around 120-140 nautical miles pr hr dependant on weight of the a/c and gusty winds. This day the wind came from 90 degrees angle so there was no headwind to slow down the groundspeed.
