At the time of the go-around at 15:14Z the QNH was 996 millibars, which means the transponder, always showing the altitude corresponding to a standard altimeter setting of 1013.25millibars, showed 145 meters/475 feet too high, therefore 875 feet indicated by the transponder equates to 400 feet MSL (corrected to ambient pressure). 875 feet would have been exactly on a 3 degrees glideslope for runway 19, the aircraft however had passed the FAP/FAF at 2300 feet transponder altitude (=1825 feet MSL) on vertical profile. At the FAF runway 19 the transponder reported a speed over ground of 86 knots, at the go-around a speed of 105 knots over ground, during the second approach to runway 11 the speed over ground was reported between 108 and 116 knots by the transponder.
