Absolutely yes but can't find the published one for the airfield in question. Also it will depend upon the type, size and attitude/configuration of the aircraft. What works say for a fast jet won't for a big turbo prop or a lifting body style airliner. All size wise dissimilar and pilots eye height to aerial position incomparable. Seems very much that one set of lights won't fit all unless using all available clues they are as much a guide as a Precision approach path indicator....
