When I'm coming in for an approach, there are lights on the sides of the runway. I've never been able to figure out what they do. I assume they are used to help lineup the runway on a visual approach, but I can't figure them out. Should my goal be to have all red lights, all white, or a mixture of both?

ANy help is appreciated....

They are called PAPI lights (Precision Approach Path Indicator) The above post is correct in how they are used. And they also have VASI lights which work in much the same manner but they are arranged differently than the PAPI lights Grin

Thanks for the info makes a lot more sense now. I did the landing lessons and don't recall them mentioning the lights.

That is funny.... I thought it was "white ove white, your out of sight." "Red over Red, your dead." "red over white, your alright." Not too much in variation, but funny how different instructors teach change the terms a bit. Is this the same world wide? Grin
