| The PAPI and the approach lights lit up when the PNF activated the ARCAL, because their switches had been left on. |
|
| In response to a query from the crew, the Bromont dispatcher indicated that the PAPI was on the right side of the runway. |
|
| It was not evident whether the PAPI was positioned on the right or the left side of the runway. |
|
| The Bromont Airport dispatcher informed the crew that only the PAPI was operational. |
|
| At approximately 1000 feet asl and five miles from the threshold, the flight crew had the approach lights and the PAPI in sight. |
|
| When the captain saw that the PAPI was indicating that the altitude was too low, he initiated a missed approach. |
|
| The PAPI is designed to project a series of lights to provide pilots with visual indications of the desired approach slope to a runway. |
|
| Since the PAPI was located about 500 feet west of the threshold, the co-pilot saw the runway threshold at a distance of? |
|
| During the turn onto final leg, the first officer observed the PAPI and advised the captain that the aircraft was too low. |
|
| The PAPI consists of four light units in a wing bar, located on the left side of the runway, 1,307 feet from the threshold, and provides a 3° glide path to the touchdown zone. |
|
| As a result of his request to the Terrace FSS as to the status of the PAPI, the intensity of the runway lights was increased, requiring a further call from the captain to have them dimmed. |
|
| In response, on 19 October 1994, TC inspectors conducted a number of night approaches to runway 06 in visual flight conditions, and found that approaches made with reference to the PAPI provided the desired glide path. |
|
| The FAA issued an advisory notice to airport operators after the accident to keep PAPI units running to prevent contamination. |
|
| At about a mile back from the runway, the aircraft intercepted the PAPI glide path and the first officer followed the glide path down toward the runway. |
|
| Both pilots reported visually sighting the PAPI as the aircraft turned onto the final leg, and no problems were reported with the system before or after the occurrence. |
|
| Part of the difficulty in discussing and understanding the rice queen subculture is that so little attention has been paid to the sexuality of Asian or PAPI men. |
