Default Glide slope Denpasar??

Hi,
While sitting on Kuta bch, I noticed the very shallow glide slope of all the jets landing from the West. Can anyone on here let me know why that is?
Thanks,
Paul

They have to have a shallower glide path when they lay down the low-level chem trails, or it evaporates before it hits the ground.

The VOR DME 9 chart in this link has a published descent angle of 2.8° from FAF to MDA, 0.2° shallower than the standard 3°. 2/10 of a degree might not sound like much, but would be enough to notice.
