An unconfirmed analysis by an apparently well informed source looking at the approach using a flight tracking programme suggested that the aircraft appeared to be doing more than 190 knots inside four miles. I do not fly the Citation X but on my 737 that would not be a stabilised approach.
Another tracking programme shows the aircraft a day or so before flying from California to Europe by way of Goose Bay in around 20 hours. Nobody knows who was flying that trip. But speculating that the owner liked to fly the jet himself and from the tone of other posts on here a certain picture is developing.
There is nothing stopping you doing this kind of stuff in a private operation other than of course common sense, which in this case seems to have been sadly missing.
