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


Standard VASI

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

Precision Approach Path Indicator

(PAPI)

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.

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.
