Is it not better to fly high approaches as opposed to approaches perfectly on the PAPIs?
I've always thought PAPIs were for when the vis is crappy, and aimed towards the "bigger aeroplanes" as it will suit their g/s angle better?
Surely higher approaches are better to be able to do, as if something goes wrong with the donkey, you have more height to play with, and also it's better as it keeps noise down for those on the ground.
Just my thoughts as a very inexperience student PPL.
