For example, at night, the runway might be lit up like

If you can see the runway, there ain't no hill between you and it.



But there can still be a hill below for you to descend into. Your
eyeballs can still have clear line of sight to the runway lights while
your landing gear is dragging through the treetops.


Or the runway could be in a valley with a high tension line across it...
