Hi guys, just an interested observer; the video posted by Broomstick Flier, the approach looks a bit low, I'm guessing this is deliberate to minimise landing distance?

Hi FS,

Indeed this approach was made more low than a regular one, but this airport is VFR/VMC only and thus descent profile can be adjusted. Having a clear path along the final approach helps as well.

On our "network" of airports SBJR was the only we limited to captain only operation, for daylight landings.
