Not if the speed is nailed and you are either on the glide, or just under it (2 reds and a pink). This gives you room in the touchdown zone for a nice round out.
The only problem is the last 500' with windshear, but normally this calms to mild turbulence by 30'. Gusts then have to be countered or the aircraft may weather-cock when on the ground.
It really isn't as bad as the stories you hear, it just takes bigger balls than any other normal approach.
Rock on LCY pilots!!!!!!
