the 10-9 chart, on the back side says that 29 has PAPI on RIGHT.


While most PAPI and abbreviated VASI are on the captain's side, one simply must read and brief all the info...the first suspicious thing I saw was PAPI-R

IN a briefing one might even say: PAPI on RIGHT side...so we better watch it and be sure to land to the left...

and once base to final turn has been made, one may check the glideslope before runway alignment...and then it might be too late...the mind sees what it wants to see.
