Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the evaluation of the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) to determine whether the PAPI provides sufficient advantages over the current standard red/white Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) to warrant recommending it as the United States standard visual glidepath indicator. This process covered photometric testing, environmental testing, and flight evaluation. Various flight evaluations were accomplished at the FAA Technical Center (ACY), Newark Airport, New Jersey (EWR), Teterboro Airport, New Jersey (TEB), and at bader Field in Atlantic City, New Jersey (AIY). The results indicate that PAPI was preferred over the standard red/white VASI system. In general, United States pilots find very little fault with the standard red/white VASI system, and the PAPI is preferred mainly because it gives more rate and position information and because of its quick transitions from one color to the other. It is passive system (no moving parts to wear out), meeting all of the operational requirements of a glide slope system, and requires less equipment and real estate than the standard VASI.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 1976 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) is a simple visual aid that has been developed to assist pilots during their approach to landing. The development of the system by the RAE was reported in Ref 1 and the operational trials and technical evaluation by ICAO were reported in Ref 2. The PAPI system uses a set of four two-colour high intensity light projectors. Each beam consists of a white upper half and red lower half. The transition from one colour to the other occurs over a very small angle. This sharp transition is an essential feature of the PAPI system and it is therefore important that all units should exhibit this characteristic. Similarly, operational considerations dictate the minimum beam-spread and intensity requirements for the light projectors. It is essential that the correct isocandela specification is adhered to in all PAPI units. (Author).
