VASI vs. PAPI: Understanding the Differences and Similarities

Pilot Institute

The Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) is a Visual Glide Slope Indicator (VGSI) placed near a runway to help you land safely. This system of lights is visible from 3-5 miles during the day and 20 miles at night. Like the VASI, PAPI enables you to know if you are too high, too low, or just right when approaching a runway.
