See Through Runways

Hi. I recently flew to TFFS and I was turning on final, to avoid the mountains in front of Runway 27. However, I could see the runway THROUGH the mountains, way before I started my turn.
The same occurred to me at TFFJ when I was approaching 10, and also at VHHX. This is a serious problem which makes pilots misjudge the glideslope when there is no ILS or other instrument approaches (in my case).

Please can someone acknowledge this?
Here is a picture for reference.

Do you see the runway embedded in the mountain?

Thanks for reading!

This is a known issue and has been for quite some time. A tricky one that’s being worked on :)
