When listing the visual references, one of these are:
(vi) The visual approach slope indicator.

This is something that has like different opinions all over our school.
Visual approach slope indicator is VASI right, so if you see the PAPI lights on a runway, does that not qualify you to descend below DA/DH/MDA? PAPI isn't VASI etc... what do you guys think
I'm 99.9% sure the PAPIs count even tho they are not specifically listed... they are part of the approach lighting system, so if they are "distinctly visible and identifiable" then there should be no reason they wouldn't count.


how do you guys pronounce "VASI?" vASSee or vAHsee
