I have flown both the ILS 35 and the RNAV (RNP) 35 (which has CAT C/D of 3.0 km and a DA 542). The metar at the time would make for a challenging approach and landing. If the visibility was 3000S (reported at 3000) and you were on the glide slope at minimums flying the ILS just acquiring the runway approach lighting the PAPI’s would show high with 4 white lights. That is the norm flying this approach and how you compensate for being high on glide slope at this point dictates the touchdown point.
