Cool

Tune to ILS and fly down the pipe

BUT Now on a serious note!

It will come when you get used to seeing the picture.

In regards to PAPIs not working for light aircraft I have never heard that before. If that is the case they would not work for the great cross section of airliners ie A380 v SAAB 340.

Also why should light aircraft make a steeper approach? It is all a distance to threshold against altitude. If you are making a steeper approach then you are making more work in the hold off and will be high on the start of final.

I have found there seems to be no right or wrong way to land. each person has a slioghtly different take that works for them.

Remember they are only "accurate" to approx 300' AAL!
