Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 13,410 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 916 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from KBZN Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport, the Boeing B737-800 began its journey on runway 30, taking off with a distance of 5,396 feet, which covered 60% of the runway.
