Let's say you break off clouds at 2000' AFE, that's when you see the runway and the PAPI and although you are high on the approach, your assessment of the situation tells you that the landing can be made on the TDZ, and in fact, you do, despite having four white lights on the PAPI. You have four white lights until touchdown.
The aircraft can be a B737 or A320, doesn't matter, something in those lines.
Another case: There's a certain airport (real life) that if you follow the PAPI lights, you overfly the threshold at 100' RA. Some pilots say that you should try to have 3 reds and 1 white in order to overfly the threshold at 50' aprox. Others say that you should follow the PAPI light no matter what. There's nothing about this in our SOP's, so that's why I have this question.
Regards.
