Slow the descent speed
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,379 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 300 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from London City Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 5 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 27, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 54% of the 716-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 141 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 11°C, with a wind speed of 14 knots at 309°, resulting in a 9-knot crosswind and an 11-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile east of Canary Wharf, rising from an initial altitude of 902 feet above sea level to 25,001 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 57 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief enroute level cruise, lasting 6 minutes and covering 50 nautical miles, before the aircraft initiated its descent 24 miles south-east of Eastbourne. The descent from 25,007 feet to 2,987 feet took 14 minutes, covering 77 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off overhead Haute-Epine, France, for a 10-minute cruise, covering 42 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, Paris-Beauvais Airport, it began its final approach to runway 30 from the south-east, aligning itself with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 1,285 feet above ground level. The landing was executed at a threshold speed of 124 knots, with a touchdown distance of 298 meters, representing 51% of the 2,379-meter runway. The touchdown speed of 122 knots was slightly faster than optimal, while the touchdown rate of -289 feet per minute was fair. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 2 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 232 nautical miles, with a total fuel consumption of 731 kilograms, and a flight duration of 50 minutes.
The aircraft, C750, successfully executed a final approach to runway 30 at LFOB Paris-Beauvais Airport from the south east, aligning with the runway heading of 304.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,285 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 124 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a fast touchdown speed of 122 knots, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -289 feet per minute. The touchdown distance of 298 meters was within acceptable limits. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 11°C and a wind of 17 knots at 269°, contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The crosswind component of 9 knots and the headwind component of 14 knots were well-managed by the pilot.
The total landing distance of 1,220 meters, accounting for 51% of the runway length, was reasonable. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 12.9 meters from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. Despite this, the overall performance of the aircraft and the pilot resulted in a score of 94.8%, reflecting a high level of proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing.
