Spot on overeasy. LCY has the potential to be a most unforgiving airport if errors are made.
We too easily forget past problems:- slippery runway due to lack of grooves or blocked contaminated grooving, long landings with ‘excursions’ into the old turnround zones, and the operator who stopped on the concrete but was unable to exit as the nose wheel would have been on the grass.
Don’t reduce any of the margins, whether during taxi, take off, or approach. The desire to save time and hence the need for speed is a killer, don’t be tempted.
Do not takeoff downwind; apart from performance issues what about the noise limits? Similarly for reduced thrust, just because you can does not mean that it is always sensible to do so. Land within the designated distance and use brakes – there is only one setting until you are assured of stopping – maximum.
