. In 'papi' system pilot during an approach will see two units nearest runway as red and two units farthest from runway as white when On or close to approach slope. precision approach path indicator (papi) consists of four sets of lights in a line perpendicular to runway usually mounted to left side of runway these have a similar purpose to basic visual approach slope indicators but additional lights serve to show pilot how far off glide slope aircraft is
when lights show white white red red aircraft on correct glide slope landing usually 3 0° three red lights (white red red red) indicate that aircraft slightly below glide slope (2 8°) while four red lights (red red red red) indicate that aircraft significantly below glide slope (3 5°)
most large airports utilize this system although most airports use a papi based on a 3 0° glide slope some airports may use a glide slope as great as 5 0° in order to have proper obstruction clearance

. 14 Runway threshold identification lights are Flashing white lights. Green threshold wing bars are provided at certain aerodromes where there a need to accentuate threshold
threshold lights are green mark threshold of runway (indicates start of available landing distance) but threshold identification lights are flashing white they are placed next to threshold area but off runway where extra conspicuity required
simultaneous flashes help pilot identify runway in use. 15 Runway lead in lighting should consist Of group of at least three white lights flashing in sequence towards runway. Icao annex 14
5 3 7 runway lead in lighting systems
application
a runway lead in lighting system should be provided where it desired to provide visual guidance along a specific approach path reasons such as avoiding hazardous terrain or purposes of noise abatement
location
a runway lead in lighting system should consist of groups of lights positioned so as to define desired approach path so that one group may be sighted from preceding group
the interval between adjacent groups should not exceed approximately 1600 m
runway lead in lighting system should extend from a point as determined the appropriate authority up to a point where approach lighting system if provided or runway or runway lighting system in view
characteristics
each group of lights of a runway lead in lighting system should consist of at least three flashing lights in a linear or cluster configuration the system may be augmented steady burning lights where such lights would assist in identifying system
the flashing lights should be white the steady burning lights gaseous discharge lights
where practicable flashing lights in each group should flash in sequence towards runway. 16 Signal from a signalman to an aircraft a signalman requests pilot to engage brakes with following signal Raise arm hand with fingers extended horizontally in front of body then clench fist. Icao annex 14
