The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 3,575 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 3,575 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 394 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
