Jock of the lunatic variety,
as landing distance required has an airborne portion
Therefore distance is reduced.

To all others:-

Only problem is if you try and maintain a steeper approach, the margins required to either 1)not overshoot or 2)flare at the right time, are compromised, hence the reccommended slope is 3 deg and rightly so.
