If you follow the PAPI you will not touchdown half down the runway - you will land at the 1000' markers.
Not if you are way too fast and float...............
Exactly.
According to my sources they are instructed to land long and hold off for a smooth touchdown. Use all the runway if they need to, just make sure it's a smooth touchdown for the clients.
All well and good until the subsequent backtrack at walking pace
Very frustrating when you're following.
