It had PAPIs the last time I flew in there - and according to the plates, still does.

GS profile runs straight to the threshold, and you would hit MDA 0.7nm (0.6SM) from the threshold.... if flying the profile. Looking at the METARS suggest they may not have been visual at MDA?

Incidentally, am I reading this Actual right, or is this a typo:

CYHZ 290400Z 34019G54KT 3/4SM R14/5000VP6000FT/D -SN DRSN BKN007

????

If that's correct, it's one hell of a gust factor!
