EUROCONTROL - Alvorlig hendelse i Norge

 Jeg beklager vanskelig formatering av denne saken,

Lucky escape for a crew that flew a non-precision  approach in IMC at night on SPS rather than the  QNH of 987 mb On 22 December 2022, an aircraft came within  less than 300 feet of terrain on final approach  to Svolvær in clouds as its crew responded to an   unexpected but valid EGPWS warning of  terrain proximity. The go-around was   completed, and the crew decided to  return to the departure airport Bodø, which  was accomplished without further event. An  incorrect altimeter setting had resulted in the  approach being flown 700 feet below the   required profile.
