There is a lot of information about that testing process and the procedures required on the forum.
Umm, PF had a severe undetected color deficiency. On a VFR night, flight descended well below the 4 red PAPI angle and impacted the terrain significantly short of the rwy threshold.

Since an ILS wasn't available, not quite sure I agree.
