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.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and speed above the reference speed.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.

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 142 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Brussels Airport, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking approximately 7 minutes to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 25R, the departure roll commenced, with the aircraft taking off in a distance of 825 meters, utilizing 27% of the available runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 142 knots, as the aircraft lifted off into the local weather conditions, characterized by a temperature of 8°C and winds of 18 knots at 190°.
As the aircraft climbed to cruising altitude, it passed overhead Diegem, Flanders, Belgium, and continued to ascend to 18,019 feet above sea level, an increase of 17,153 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 42 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase started overhead Watervliet, Flanders, Belgium, lasting 9 minutes and covering 60 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft began its descent from 17,814 feet above sea level to 2,899 feet above sea level, a decrease of 14,916 feet in 14 minutes, covering 58 nautical miles. The final level cruise phase started 2 miles east of Allhallows, Medway, England, lasting 6 minutes and covering 21 nautical miles.
Upon approaching London City Airport, the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 27 from the east, aligning with a heading of 273.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,805 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 143 meters, utilizing 52% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed was 123 knots, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed. The aircraft's touchdown rate was -526 feet per minute, indicating a hard touchdown. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 188 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 47 minutes and a fuel consumption of 752 kilograms.
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 executed at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,805 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved, allowing the pilot to maintain a safe margin above the runway surface.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was well within the acceptable range at 124 knots, and the touchdown distance of 143 meters was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly faster than desired, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -526 feet per minute. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 8°C and a wind of 10 knots at 240°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 693 meters, representing 52% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned, deviating by 11.1 meters from the centreline. Despite this minor deviation, the overall performance of the aircraft and its pilot was impressive, earning a score of 90.0%. This achievement reflects a high level of skill and expertise in executing a safe and efficient landing at EGLC London City Airport.
