Surprising ....but real....
As I posted before the last 1/2 to 1 mile you litteraly buze the hill all the ways down to the RWY. It is like doing a low flyby over a downhill slope to the rwy.
It has been several years since I have done that approach, so I can not really say how high above the terrain you are. But the first night I did that approach the only think that came to my mind was " Only sh.. that is close !!! and that is being on the Papi.
In my opinion, on a "normal approach" the ground appear that close when you are really close to crossing the threshold and not being 1/2 to 1 mile away from the rwy.
