I agree with fairflyer, very little margin here, RWY 25, THR 324 ft, LDA 1059m, and the quoted landing distance for this aircraft is 799m at MLW, Sea Level, ISA.

It would interesting what biz jet pilots are factoring into their landing distances especially taking into account single crew, VFR approach. As previously stated 1059m gives very little time to decide to go around or stop, worst still without P2 to make the call.

Again, it's difficult to know why such a wealthy family, doesn't opt for multi crew, with the added safety of two crew, less distraction from PAX in P2 seat, and Farnborough would have been a much better option based on the distances, and emergency resources.
