Can anyone give an explanation as to why the ILS GP and the PAPIs at LGA were set differently? This is not the only airport in the world where it’s like this.
I know it was on the charts but it could lead to a kind of cognitive dissonance in an individual and a CRM breakdown with multi-crew, where one pilot is on the ILS and the other on the lights (or even just going visually for the TDZ). Yes, you can and should brief these points but sometimes it feels that things are being made more difficult just for the sake of it. A note saying “Last 300m of RWY 24 made of blancmange” is useful, but why the blancmange in the first place?
I flew into KSAN recently and noted that the approach gradient and the PAPI angle have been aligned with each other since my last visit. Hooray for common sense!
