Dassault is now working to gain FAA steep approach certification to meet the glide slope requirement of 5.5 degrees as opposed to the standard 3.0 degrees to allow US-registered aircraft to operate at LCY.

Dassault has developed a unique autobrake feature to reduce landing distances by as much as 300 feet.
