Glide Slope Flashcards
2673
When below the proper glide path of a 2-bar VASI, the pilot will see the near bar as
red over red.
Below Red over Red
2910
When making an approach to landing, you are slightly above glidepath when the indications of the 2-bar VASI show the
far bar change from red to white.

(Refer to figure 136) You break out of the clouds on final on an instrument approach, and you see PAPI indication 11 in the figure. What should you do?
Decrease your rate of descent.
