Mad Flt Scientist is absolutely right - you mustn't flatten out a London City approach on visual short final, because then you will run off the other end. The landing distance assumes you follow the glide path all the way down and slam it onto the deck at 1000+ fpm. That's also why part of the London City approval for many types is that each landing counts as up to two "normal" landings when calculating things like gear life limits.
