On 22 December 2022, a De Havilland DHC8-100 came within less than 300 feet of terrain on final approach to Svolvær in cloud as its crew responded to an unexpected but valid EGPWS Warning of terrain proximity. The recovery was completed and it was decided that the aircraft would return to the departure airport Bodø which was accomplished without further event. The flight crew’s failure to recognise that they had not changed their altimeter sub-scale settings from the standard en-route pressure setting to the required destination QNH had resulted in the approach being flown 700 feet below the required profile.
