An Icelandair Boeing 737-9 MAX, registration TF-ICB performing flight
FI-533 from Munich (Germany) to Keflavik (Iceland), was on final approach to runway 19 (threshold elevation) descending on glidepath when the crew initiated a go around at very low height (around 50 feet AGL) just over the runway threshold at about 166 knots over ground.
An Icelandair Boeing 757-200, registration TF-FIA performing flight FI-592 from Keflavik (Iceland) to Milan Malpensa (Italy), had stopped before the hold short line runway 19 and began to line up runway 19 crossing the hold short line about one minute before the go around and was accelerating through about 70 knots over ground for takeoff about 400 meters/1300 feet down the runway.
According to ADS-B data after initiating the go around
FI-533 turned about 10 degrees left while climbing out over the departing FI-592,
FI-533 had reached 592 feet AGL at 172 knots over ground about 150 feet left of the runway edge by then, the departing FI-592 was accelerating through 137 knots over ground maintaining the runway centerline.
After being clear of conflict
FI-533 positioned for another approach now to runway 28 and landed without further incident about 14 minutes later. FI-592 maintained a normal climb out, continued to Milan and landed there without further incident about 3:45 hours later.
Icelandic Flugblogg reports Isavia (national airport and navigation service provider) confirmed the occurrence and stated RNSA is looking into the occurrence. A statement from RNSA could not be obtained.
On Sep 6th 2022 it became known that Icelandic RNSA have opened an investigation into the occurrence.
According to METARs a correction of -272 feet is to be added to the ADS-B Transponder altitudes to determine the true altitude and another -161 feet (runway threshold elevation) to determine the true height.
