Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) The VASI is a system of lights on the side of an airport runway that provides visual descent guidance information during the approach to a runway View of VASI from approach.
Consist of two sets of lights Each set designed to appear either white or red depending on angle viewed. If on “Glide Slope”, first set of lights will appear white and second set red. If “High on Glide Slope”, both appear white. If “Low on Glide Slope”, both appear red. Most common type of VASI system Standard VASI system viewed from approach. Standard VASI
A light system that consists of two, three, or four boxes of lights that provide a visual indication of an aircraft’s position on the glidepath. Depending on the angle, lights will appear red or white. Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) • On glidepath when two white and two red lights are viewed. • If high more white lights will be visible. • If low more red lights will be visible.
