London City Airport Landings

I had no idea of this and yesterday I randomly decided I would have fly there with the A320 by Fly By Wire.
I followed the procedure trying to do my best but after the final 180 turn I honestly thought I did something wrong for how close were the buildings.
The 5.5 degree slope is absolutely scary. You intercept the glide slope at 2000 feet. The airplane was very light and I was at about 120 knots. Five second later with throttle in idle I was 130.

You have to make the whole final approach with your airbrakes extended!

That was supercool!!!
