PAPI Landing Aid set for Worldwide Adoption

Abstract

A new visual landing aid for civil and military aircraft conceived and developed at RAE Bedford seems set to be adopted by the international aviation community. The Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) system has just gone on trial at London's Heathrow Airport as part of a Civil Aviation Authority evaluation programme, in which both the British Airports Authority and the RAE are assisting.
