I am sure there are several similar approaches but Quito is a fine one. The G/S is set at at about 6 deg as you fly down a mountain and the PAPI is to be flown after safe ground clearance is obtained. Have landed here a few times on a G/S approach, the aircraft we were operating were not designed for carrier landings.
