Narrative:
GPS approach to runway 14 at gig has poor vertical guidance and places aircraft well above a normal vdp to land on runway 15 with displaced threshold...potentially causing an overrun if landing long due to high approach. The runway has no PAPI installed at the new threshold and the VNAV path is much too high at minimums.this approach has all the ramifications of a runway overrun because there is no discernible threshold and there is no PAPI guidance system to assist a visual landing. The glide path for the [vdp] is much too high for the display's threshold.install a PAPI at the new displaced threshold on this runway...also do not call it runway 14 as it is still the same runway 15 it has always been. In addition; paint a discernible new threshold with appropriate markings and remove all other markings prior to the threshold.
