Admittedly its smaller planes but they're still airliners, not cessnas. Puddle jumpers. Now try the same trick with a 747 or Airbus 380, which According to wonkypedia the largest aircraft that can use london city is the bombardier C100. 108 pax and 60 tons MTOW. Hardly a puddle jumper. normal 3 degrees for Heathrow and other major airports. A big jet can't approach at 6 degrees safely anywhere near full load, as they tend to stall and fall out of the sky. That sounds iffy to me, got a citation? Your extraordinary ignorance is on display, yet again. https://www.flightglobal.com/news/ar...london-steep-a proach-with-lega-425613 Sorry, that article is supposed to tell me what? Nowhere does it state that big jets would stall at a 6 deg approach angle. Once again you demonstrate your inability to follow simple exglish. Pilots don't like City airport much, either. I can't imagine pax are too thrilled about it either. Visited it once , bugger all facilities and a right slog on the DLR.
