Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,686 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 326 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 2.06 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
