Hi,
SD pseudo ILS  works with the runway threshold coordinates,giving a 50ft too low 3° vertical trajectory.
As we pass over runway threshold at 50ft,the touch-down point is 300 meters ahead,at the approximative
place we see tire marks on concrete runways.Abeam the glide path antenna.
Is-it not conceivable to make guidance towards the touch-down point coordinates in place of threshold ones?

I stand to be corrected, but I understand that both vertical and horizontal guidance is by reference to the published airfield reference point, which is often about mid-field.
