I've never see a short approach that specifically defined. I also highly doubt ANYONE would make it that specific.
Granted. When I was at my contract tower, I told the flight school (our largest customer) I don't care what you do, as long as you do your short approaches in a similar fashion all the time, do your normal bases at the same point. I'll control around all that.
I have done many short approaches, if I ever used it, I tried to ask them to be abeam the threshold to start the base. Then they roll out just short of the thresh hold.
I think that was her expectation based on other short approaches, don’t blame her for that. Shouldn’t have brought up google though. But she is getting destroyed on twitter, even a petition to get her fired.

How embarrassing. The confidence to admit that on frequency.
