Book Description
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.

Pages : 25
Book Description
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).
In-Service Testing of the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) at Newark International Airport, New Jersey

Book Description
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.
