Hello People
I found two different explanations online for the 3 bar VASI and I'm hoping somebody can clarify how they really work.
1st explanation is: if you got Red Red Red of course you are low.
WRR on Lower Glide path
WWR on Upper Glide path
WWW obviously High
If this is correct how do I know if I should maintain the Lower or Upper glide?
2nd explanation goes: You only get to use two out of the three bars, if you are flying a High Cockpit aircraft you disregard the lower bar and you should get 1 R and 1 W to be on the glide.
If you are flying a Low Cockpit aircraft you disregard the top bar.
But if this is the case, what's the definition of a High Cockpit aircraft? does it mean a Wide Body aircraft?
Guys, any information about the 3 bar VASI will be appreciated
