Nice in south of France is a good example, the Jeppesen plates state the papi is for a cat d aircraft.
Leading you to cross the threshold at 100ft if you follow the PAPIs in your average jet.

Its about time that airlines taught visual aiming point as the important criteria below 200 ft as 3 whites/ 1/2 dot high at 200 ft is a small error at this point. I have seen guys completely destabilising approaches at this point for no good reason.
