I’m not sure how useful this is when the weather visibility is poor, there’s an obstruction on the runway or it’s dark. But what could be useful is using this to serve as an additional alert for when a pilot is performing a bad landing. For example, could this have been helpful in the Asiana flight 214 crash at SFO?

This system would be an excellent input to the pilot for managing glide path when the ILS system is inoperative. The PAPI (precision approach path indicator) light system also provides guidance but it’s not a very tight path.
