Yes, it's perfectly possible to get a nice, smooth landing at LCY- no need to thump it onto the deck. Having said that, there's no room to risk floating down the runway while trying too hard to grease it on. Add to that the willingness of the ac to land with flap 35, and in reality, most landings at LCY are a little more positive than on regular airports.

Typical RoD in the F50 on finals very roughly 1200fpm (circa 120 kt IAS). Can be quite a bit more from time to time, depending on wind.
