@PS upthread we used the MEHt acronym in lieu of "height over the threshold of PAPI 3° ideal beam".

Perhaps in your case it means a restriction, literally? I.e. for 738 do not cross THR below 61' pilot eye-height. Having said that, I grow a strong hunch you might be interested in one of the shirts..

C.B's resistance to the term 'FAA runway' (fairly new to me too) turned into research.

a) ICAO Annex 14
- PAPI to align with Aiming Point Markings
- APMs are 300 meters for LDA < 2400m
- APMs are 400 m for LDA > 2400 m

b) FAA AIM only specifies the Aiming Point Markings to be around 1000'
- https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publ...section_3.html

c) FAA AIM does not specify the PAPI location.
- https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publ...section_1.html

Expect to see similar to this (runway NOT in the US):
3000 x 45 m
LDA beyond GS = 2704 m
PAPI aligned to PAMs at 330m from THR.



all fair and square.

Until I looked at LAX
