Use of PAPI

Hey guys and gals,

The other week I flew dual and the instructor insisted on flying with those 2 whites and 2 reds all the way done however I was flying a C210 so in my mind why would I be worrying about those PAPI lights?

Having flown cubs to the baron I personally I only use them when I am on an instrument approach. Flying visually around I use judgement on my approach path. I know a few flying schools teach students to use the lights for the approach but its the old question of going into a strip that doesn't have them what will this poor student do???

Unless its an instrument approach I don't bother...
What do you do?
