    Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel and to a great video about visual aids for pilots. We´ll be looking at the PAPI lights, how they work, and especially how to use them whilst you´re on approach.
    The PAPI is a light array positioned beside the runway. It normally consists of four equi-spaced light units color-coded to provide a visual indication of an aircraft's position relative to the designated glideslope for the runway. An abbreviated system consisting of two light units can be used for some categories of aircraft operations. The international standard for PAPI is published by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) in Aerodromes, Annex 14 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, Volume 1, Chapter 5. National regulations generally adopt the standards and recommended practices published by ICAO. An earlier glideslope indicator system, the visual approach slope indicator (VASI) is now obsolete and was deleted from Annex 14 in 1995. The VASI only provided guidance down to heights of 60 metres (200 ft) whereas PAPI provides guidance down to flare initiation (typically 15 metres, or 50 ft).
    The PAPI is usually located on the left-hand side of the runway at right angles to the runway center line. The units are spaced 9 meters apart with the nearest unit 15 meters from the runway edge. A PAPI can, if required, be located on the right-hand side of the runway. At some locations PAPIs are installed on both sides of the runway but this level of provision is beyond the requirements of ICAO. The light characteristics of all light units are identical. In good visibility conditions the guidance information can be used at ranges up to 5 miles (8.0 km) by day and night. At night the light bars can be seen at ranges of at least 20 miles (32 km).
    Each light unit consists of one or more light sources, red filters and lenses. Each light unit emits a high-intensity beam. The lower segment of the beam is red, and the upper part is white. The transition between the two colours must take place over an angle not greater than three minutes of arc. This characteristic makes the color change very conspicuous, a key feature of the PAPI signal. To form the PAPI guidance signal, the color transition boundaries of the four units are fixed at different angles. The lowest angle is used for the unit furthest from the runway, the highest for the unit nearest to the runway. The designated glideslope is midway between the second and third light unit settings. Depending on the position of the aircraft relative to the specified angle of approach, the lights will appear either red or white to the pilot. The pilot will have reached the normal glidepath (usually 3 degrees) when there is an equal number of red and white lights. If an aircraft is beneath the glidepath, red lights will outnumber white; if an aircraft is above the glidepath, more white lights are visible.
    PAPI systems are readily available from airfield lighting manufacturers worldwide. PAPI is normally operated by air traffic control (ATC). If ATC services are not normally provided at an aerodrome, PAPI along with other airport lights may be activated by the pilot by keying the aircraft microphone with the aircraft's communication radio tuned to the CTAF or dedicated pilot controlled lighting (PCL) frequency.
    Thank you very much for your time! I hope you enjoy this basic introduction video about the PAPI!
    Wishing you all the best!
    Your "Captain" Joe

    Some additional stuff:
    A few smaller airports have a so called APAPI (abbreviated PAPI) which consists of only two lamps.
    Furthermore, the PAPI is replacing it's predecessor, the VASI (Visual Approach Slope Indicator), which consists of two sets of lamps (each of them has 3) and mainly works with the same principle as the PAPI. If the front set shows white and the set behind red, you're right. Twice white means too high and twice red too low. One disadvantage is that the combination of white and red easily turns to pink.

    A couple of decades of flight simming. Many real airplane trips around the world. A real passion for aviation. Countless hours of watching videos, but I only found out a couple of months ago that the lights didn't light up red or white because the PAPI would "track" (using a laser or something) the plane lined up. I had no idea "delectors or reflectors" were positioned in such a way that depending on where your eyesight was you would see red or white. You think you know, but you have no idea...

    • @naumen6508
      @naumen6508 Před 4 lety +3

      Interesting.. i have no experience in aviation whatsoever, yet I immediately thought about simple lighting and reflexion angles. Would never have thought about laser measurements at all.
      Crazy how each person "sees" things so differently by nature

    • @KuraIthys
      @KuraIthys Před 4 lety +3

      I have VFR flight experience in light aircraft and PAPI isn't even mentioned in the handbook we work from.
      I vaguely know of it's existence, and I've seen it in simulators at times, but I've never seen it in reality.
      Day VFR flying in general aviation circles wouldn't bother with it around here, I think.
      We're trained to use the visual aspect of the runway itself to judge approaches, and you basically just pick a spot on the runway then make sure that this spot doesn't 'move'.
      If it stays in the same place visually, you're on course to hit exactly that location.
      Of course, I swear my instructor once did a 40 degree approach. Probably my imagination, but it felt really steep. So, even if it's not that crazy I would say you can get away with a lot in an aircraft that can land at steep angles.
      Especially when you can officially land in 50 metres yet have a 1400 metre runway to work with...

    • @michalsimanek6988
      @michalsimanek6988 Před 4 lety +5

      as a mechatronics student i was thinking the same thing... a simple radar detecting the aircraft, two color bulbs/LEDs in 4 lights each having different treshold for lighting white/red. No moving parts but it needs a computer/microcontroller and that can fail.
      but its just clever lenses and some colored glass! how do people come up with such simple and effective stuff?

      Night vision is for dummies. Just leave the airport dark. Ask the jet fighters that have to land on aircraft carriers in stealth mode. The ship has every light possible turned off. So they have to fight to find the white trail that the ship leaves on the sea. and estimate the height of the ship as they have already seen it in the day..

    Also used on naval aircraft carriers. An optical landing system (OLS) (nicknamed "meatball" or simply, "Ball") is used to give glidepath information to pilots in the terminal phase of landing on an aircraft carrier. ... The OLS was developed after World War II and was deployed on U.S. Navy carriers from 1955.

    • @martijn9568
      @martijn9568 Před 6 lety +2

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the development of the meatball start during ww2? I think the idea of the meatball and on how it worked was thought of by a British guy.

    • @lescrooge
      @lescrooge Před 6 lety +1

      The first OLS was the mirror landing aid, one of several British inventions made after the Second World War revolutionising the design of aircraft carriers. The others were the steam catapult and the angled flight deck. The Mirror Landing Aid was invented by Nicholas Goodhart.[2] It was tested on the carriers HMS Illustrious and HMS Indomitable before being introduced on British carriers in 1954 and on US carriers in 1955.

    • @thebigitchy
      @thebigitchy Před 6 lety +8

      Just that aircraft carrier OLS have more gradations for better glideslope precision and can convey more information than PAPI. Which makes sense, given how much more precise a carrier landing has to be compared to a civilian landing.

    • @lescrooge
      @lescrooge Před 6 lety +7

      Indeed, and as most naval aviators will say. it's basically a controlled crash landing. hitting the deck with full thrust on in case they miss the arrestor cable and have to do a touch and go.

You could turn on the runway lights by clicking the mic, but that was it. The airport was in between 2 cities out in the country and it was really cool to see all those lights appear out of nowhere on a dark night :-) My instructor told me to be very leery of a piece of sky with no lights as it was likely a mountain... ;-) Excellent video as usual Capt Joe :-)

      A noun can be pronounced any way. "Grammar 101". So, technically you're wrong.
      And it doesn't matter how tangent is spelled. What matters most is the trigonometric calculation he taught.

      Yes, many words can be pronounced many ways, the difference here is that I thought he was talking about a different equation at first since his pronunciation was so far away from from the correct/commonly used pronunciation. Also, the Nouns can be pronounced any way rule only applies to proper nouns(and even then you should be careful) making it irrelevant to the conversation.

    I still remember my first official hours behind the yoke on a Cessna, flying from Daytona Intl. to Flagler airport at nighttime. That’s an uncontrolled airport at night, and I remember my instructor telling me how to turn on, as well as adjust the brightness level of the runway lighting. What a thrilling feeling it was to do my first ever nighttime landing at Flagler, followed by a good meal at the airport restaurant.

    Hey there Joe, I was landing in Montréal once from Geneva and as we were taxiing to our gate in Montreal, a cabin crew member made an announcement and told us we had to close the window blinds because it was very hot weather in Montreal and they said it was to save the environment, I told this story to a few people and no one knew how it saved the environment. Also, on another flight, a flight attendant told us to close the window blinds as it was getting dark, once again, I told this story and no one knew why.
    I guess window blinds on a plane are just a mystery
    Good news that you're flying the cagolux 747s, all the best.

    • @jaroslavsevcik3421
      @jaroslavsevcik3421 Před 6 lety +4

      Sun rays entering the cabin/room heat up it. So probably the pilots turned off air conditioning and that was saving the environment.

    • @Simawwn
      @Simawwn Před 6 lety +1

      Evan Halle maybe closing the blinds prevents heat from entering the cabin and they wanted to shut down the air conditioning?
      And for night I believe it’s in case of an emergency evacuation. That way your eyes are used to the dark and can see better

    • @jaroslavsevcik3421
      @jaroslavsevcik3421 Před 6 lety +5

      Demethus regarding the second paragraph no, no and no. For an emergency all the blinders should be open because the cabin crew must be able to see out (flames) and also the rescuers want to see inside. For possible emergency during approach and landings cabin lights are dimmed so people can adapt their eyes in case of any emergency.

    • @YOURCAPSLOCKISON
      @YOURCAPSLOCKISON Před 6 lety +4

      People fall asleep on long haul flights at night with their windows open. Then when the sun starts to rise it wakes people up. Then people get up to use the restroom making more noise in the cabin, waking more folks up. I ask passengers to lower or dim their shades to prevent that.
      Although on the dreamliner you can do that from the Cabin Services System and dim the windows in the entire cabin using one interface.

    • @AtulBhatia
      @AtulBhatia Před 6 lety +6

      An aircraft cabin is like a greenhouse, where the sun's radiation enters through the windows and heats up the interior. By closing the blinds, insolation is considerably reduced, which allows us to switch off one of the two air conditioning units (or 'packs' as we call them). That in turn reduces fuel burn, and that's what reduces the environmental impact.

    Dear Captain Joe, Just a detail regarding English pronunciation: both "tangent" and "algebra" use. a soft "g", as in "gentle"; this characteristically interesting video uses both terms, albeit only once for "algebra", but the detail is audible. You're doing a great job: keep up the good work!

      If you have the wrong vertical speed, you won't be on the glideslope for long.
      But you're more likely to go off a descent angle than a vertical speed.
      That's why it's say, a 3 degree glideslope, and not a 500 feet/minute glideslope.
