My answer is that flapless landings are prohibited as a normal operational practice. There is information in the manual that provides guidance if an operator has to make a flapless landing due to emergency circumstances.

The aircraft can do it without problems, but, amongst other things, you cannot be assured of being able to successfully carry out a baulked landing from that configuration. That is one of the reasons why flapless landings are not permitted as a normal operations practice in Series 300 landplanes.
