Tullamarine has the same setting but not the same issue. At Wellcamp RWY30 in Day VMC once established on final you can EITHER fly the PAPI OR you can fly to the aimpoint markings. You cannot do both.

Don't get me wrong, it's not all that difficult. But it's not as straight forward as some on here are making out.

But typical of Prune: People who're actually flying into and out of an airport giving tips to a new operator are being bagged by people who've never flown into the place before.
Bit touchy there, Divosh. I'm not trying to bag you, just trying to understand how an airport about to receive international heavies has such an apparently screwed-up PAPI system.

The start of the big white squares (not the little ones beforehand) should be at 400m. The PAPIs should be about 436m/1429ft in from the threshold in this case. Please confirm.

Please also describe what your [company's] "touchdown zone" is.
