Procedure; Chart Or Publication; Airport
I was the PIC; and the Pilot Monitoring. The SIC was flying a briefed visual approach backed up with a RNAV (GPS) Rwy 17 approach which has a 3 degree Glidepath. Inside of a mile from the end of Runway 17; the SIC verbalized and adjusted aircraft pitch and rate of descent because a tree appeared to be close off the right nose. There were no Terrain; Obstacle; or Descent Rate warnings. A normal landing was made over a blast fence that was not noted on the 10-9 page.It was Day VFR when we flew this approach. If we had continued the approach as depicted; the tree on short final would have been very close to the 3 degree glidepath. This approach (THV 12-1) was dated 18 Jul 14; and it's possible this tree had grown in the past 3 years. The PAPI is shown on the 10-9 page to be 4.5 degrees; quite a bit different than 3.0 degrees on the RNAV (GPS) 17 approach. Flying the PAPI angle at 120 knots would result in a descent rate of close to 1000 fpm. In addition; the blast fence was not mentioned on NOTAMS or on the 10-9 page. The 10-9 page also does not show the tree on short final. The 12-1 page for the RNAV (GPS) 17 does mention in note 3; that landing on Rwy 17 at night is not authorized. I feel that this approach is also not safe in IFR conditions.
