The Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) is a simple visual aid that has been developed to assist pilots during their approach to landing. It enables pilots to acquire the correct glideslope and subsequently to maintain their position on it, thus ensuring an accurate approach and landing. This paper discusses the operational requirements for current and future needs and shows why the PAPI system best meets these needs. (Author).
This report covers that portion of the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) tests involving 4 months of in-service testing at Newark International Airport, New Jersey. Basically, the PAPI was compared against the standard red/white Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) system at a large airport and on a runway with an Instrument Landing System (ILS). The PAPI system was installed in a manner to take care of aircraft of all sizes; that is, different wheel-to-eye distances. The information was obtained from pilots of large commercial aircraft. Questionnaires from general aviation aircraft pilots were not used for this particular report. Results showed that under these conditions about 60 percent of the pilots (a total of 117 questionnaires) preferred the PAPI over the VASI system.
