Product Overview
The PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator) and CHAPI (Chase Helicopter Approach Path Indicator) systems are advanced LED lighting solutions designed to provide helicopter pilots with accurate and safe glide slope information during final approach to heliports. These systems use a combination of red and white (PAPI) or red, white, and green (CHAPI) lights to visually guide pilots to the correct approach angle, enhancing safety in various visibility conditions.
