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 1,334 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,334 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 50 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
