One of my favourite airports in IF is London City. With its steep approach and short runway, pilots need to absolutely nail the landing on the touchdown zone and not attempt to grease it by floating. Even a small float means a go around.
I recreated flight CFE8484 from Palma de Mallorca to LCY. Before commiting to two hours of flight time, I practised my landings at my destination, I think I did 6 before I deemed myself competent enough to land at LCY.
Parked at Palma de Mallorca.
