Airport
FLO Airport; On approach to RWY 01; last 1/4 mile of approach. Tree tops VERY close to aircraft. Aircraft was exactly on PAPI vertical guidance indication. First time this happened a month ago; I thought it was my overactive imagination. A second approach to this runway a month later confirmed my perceptions that the trees have grown well into the approach path; and there is now little vertical clearance to spare. Airport management needs to investigate whether Part 139 clearance criteria are still are still being maintained for this runway.
Air Carrier Captain believes that the trees just south of Runway 01 at FLO have grown too tall and are interfering with a normal glide path to the runway.
