Question about 74 feet MEHT PAPI systems v 53 feet MEHT PAPI.
Question:
In some Australian Jepps aerodrome charts, the PAPI published MEHT (Mean Eye Height at Threshold) can be as high as 74 feet. Melbourne is an example.
Launceston aerodrome chart shows MEHT as 53 feet. The 74 feet MEHT is for wide body types to account for the longer wheel base.
Does that mean with a 74 feet MEHT PAPI, the physical siting (position on the ground) of the four PAPI lights are further away from the landing threshold than a PAPI with 53 feet MEHT?
