A Falcon 50 has used the 760m (2,490 ft) crosswind strip here (OXF/EGTK). Another Falcon 50 has been into Sywell with 1000m LDA.

Carrying the same pax, fuel for same min fuel reserves (NBAA IFR reserves) and all else being equal, best biz jets for landing performance (in order, and taking no account of thrust reversers) are:

Old Citation C550s
Citation Mustang
Falcon 50
A318 !!!!
Global 5000
GLEX
Hawker 700
Citation Sovereign
Lineage 1000
Gulfstream V/500/550
A319
Citation V/Ultra
Hawker 750/800/850/900
Dornier 328
Challenger 300
EMB Legacy
BBJ1 !!!
Falcon 7x
Citation CJ4

Those big jets have nice big carbon brakes, Hawkers have barn-door type flaps and lift dump and ancient bullet-proof maxaret brakes.

Worse jets for landing performance on above basis are:

Gulfstream IV
Premier IIA
Lear 60
Premier IA
Beechjet / Hawker 400
Excel / XLS
Challenger 601
Citation X
Falcon 2000
Gulfstream 450

On a 'WET' runway, an Airbus A318 requires 1,750ft less runway than a Lear 60 when at lowest weights!!!
