130 kts is only 3 kts slower than our max landing weight VREF of 133KTS in a G550 at 75,300lbs. I'd say that is unsafe and it would have to feel ridiculously uncomfortable with configuration changes wile slowing rapidly at 200 feet. I would like to bet he has 3hr in a Cessna CJ With a local...
I saw a Gulfstream at KTEB use it a few years ago. We were waiting for a ride out to our airplane when we saw the Gulfstream on approach. We were saying he better go around or get that thing on the ground. Touched down 1/2 way down. Full brakes full TR's left the runway doing around 50kts...

Give the FBO a call 15 min out on there freq. Advise them of your ETA and any services you may need. After they respond ask if there is a particular place they would like you to park. As a courtesy at a busy FBO I will call them again when taxing in. XYZ aviation Cessna N9123X on the ground...
