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.
One stabilised approach gate: six 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.
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 91 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 journey on runway 27, taking off with a distance of 665 meters, which equated to 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 150 knots, despite a headwind of 25 knots and a crosswind of 8 knots. The local temperature was 12 degrees Celsius, and the wind was blowing at 26 knots from a direction of 291 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of London, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of Canary Wharf, rising from 1,020 feet above sea level to 25,005 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 50 nautical miles. The climb was followed by an 8-minute level cruise at an altitude of 25,005 feet, during which the aircraft covered 64 nautical miles. The descent phase began 26 miles north of Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer, France, where the aircraft descended from 24,500 feet to 4,226 feet in 11 minutes, covering 66 nautical miles. A further level cruise phase ensued, lasting 11 minutes and covering 46 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 30 at Paris-Beauvais Airport was initiated from the south-east, with the aircraft descending from 4,226 feet to 615 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 119 knots and a touchdown speed of 121 knots, which was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown distance was 90 meters, and the total landing distance was 485 meters, which equated to 20% of the runway length. Following a slightly misaligned runway rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing the journey with a total distance of 232 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of 773 kilograms. The entire flight took 48 minutes to complete.
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 615 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 119 knots, well within the acceptable range.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 90 meters, but the touchdown speed of 121 knots was slightly faster than desired, resulting in a very hard touchdown rate of -588 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9°C and a headwind of 16 knots, contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 485 meters, which accounted for only 20% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. However, during the rollout phase, the aircraft deviated slightly from the centerline, being 12.7 meters off-center. Despite this minor deviation, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning the aircraft a score of 90.7%.
