This is ridiculous. How could such an approach be allowed, especially at night, with such little terrain clearance? The threshold crossing height is 50ft; 6000ft/1nm further back, you only have another 50ft higher (100ft in total) to give 2W/2R on the PAPI, with wheels hanging probably 30ft below that?
Surprising isn't it? There's always the possibility that I misunderstood aterpster, but that's how it pencils out.
