PAPI - precision approach path indicator
Add category
Precision Approach Path Indicator Lights (PAPI) lights are used by the orbiter crew to verify outer glide slope (OGS) during a landing. Two sets of PAPI lights are used to accommodate high-wind and low-wind scenarios. High-wind PAPI lights are located 6,500 feet prior to the threshold on an extended centerline of the runway and the low-wind PAPI lights are located 7,500 feet prior to the threshold on the centerline.
