Hold the glidepath
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 2,138 fpm, more than the glideslope needed and glideslope 5.3° against the runway's 3°.
At the 500 ft gate: glideslope 5.3° against the runway's 3°.

Side view — the last 1,502 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,502 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 274 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Bremen Airport (EDDW), the aircraft began its journey down runway 27, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 138 kt after a takeoff distance of 781 m, which accounted for 34% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 22 °C, with a wind of 12 kt at 299 °, resulting in a 6 kt crosswind and a 10 kt headwind.
As the aircraft climbed to its enroute cruise altitude, it passed overhead Stuhr, Lower Saxony, Germany, and continued to ascend to 42,896 ft asl, a gain of 41,872 ft in 17 minutes, covering 105 nm. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of Oudeschoot, Provincie Friesland, The Netherlands, and lasted 11 minutes, covering 90 nm. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 11 miles northwest of Hoek van Holland, Provincie Zuid-Holland, The Netherlands, and continued to descend to 9,013 ft asl, a decrease of 33,685 ft in 16 minutes, covering 101 nm. The enroute descent was punctuated by several level cruise phases, including a 6-minute cruise at 9 miles southeast of Frinton-on-Sea, Essex, England, and a 7-minute cruise at 4 miles northeast of Eastchurch, Kent, England.
As the aircraft approached London City Airport (EGLC), it began its final descent, starting overhead Chafford Hundred, Borough of Thurrock, England, and continued to descend to 1,858 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering 6 nm. The aircraft then lined up with runway 27 at EGLC, a 1,502 m runway, and touched down at a speed of 121 kt, with a touchdown distance of 274 m. The total landing distance was 1,004 m, accounting for 67% of the available runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing a total flight distance of 368 nm in 74 minutes, using 1,040 kg of fuel.
The aircraft, C750, successfully completed a landing on runway 27 at EGLC London City Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency. The approach to the runway, initiated from the east at a heading of 273.0°, was conducted at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,799 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved, allowing the pilot to maintain a stable and controlled descent.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the threshold speed was slightly above the target value at 128 knots, indicating a slight over-rotation. However, the touchdown distance of 274 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 121 knots was fast, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -228 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24°C and a headwind of 9 knots at 270°, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,004 meters was 67% of the runway length, indicating a good balance between speed and control. Overall, the landing was scored 96.5%, reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot. The landing was a testament to the pilot's ability to adapt to the challenging weather conditions and the unique characteristics of EGLC London City Airport.
