Some European airlines I'm familiar with occasionally ask for PAPI's 'Off' approaches.

These are on training flights, i.e. no passengers on board, and I've seen it done with small/medium/heavy aircraft.

What is interesting is watching the approaches (which are VFR) to a 10000ft runway, some clearly aren't going to work, and you can see them being thrown away early, some get binned later on.

Good practice, both literally and metaphorically.
