Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,869 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,223 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
