PAPI Test?

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the CAA conduct this test? It's mentioned in one of their papers from 2009.

"The recent UK Disability Discrimination Act (2004) has to a certain
extent exposed weaknesses in the current standards and procedures. Companies need to justify refusal to employ an applicant on the basis of his/her defective colour vision and this requires scientific evidence to demonstrate convincingly that the applicant will not be able to carry out necessary occupational tasks that involve colour vision with the accuracy and efficiency expected of normal trichromats. In view of these arguments, we have developed a PAPI simulator and a PAPI Signal Lights test that can be used under controlled laboratory conditions. The simulators reproduce both the photometric and the angular subtense of the real lights under demanding
viewing conditions when the lights are viewed against a dark background."

Thanks again.
