What is an APAPI and how does it provide you information?
Abbreviated Precision Approach Path Indicator
- 2 lamps showing white or red depending on the approach angle
- Installed left of the runway if possible

flashing yellow
When should pre-threshold markings be used?
When the surface before a threshold is paved and exceeds 60 m in length and is not suitable for normal use by aircraft, the entire length before the threshold should be marked with a chevron marking
