Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,148 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,148 ft of the 8,792 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,624 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
