The Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KR-KATS), established in 1993, has published a standard related to the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI). This particular standard, KS W 5051-1993(2023), provides comprehensive guidelines for the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of PAPI systems. The precision approach path indicator is an essential visual aid used in aviation to assist pilots during the final stages of landing by providing a clear indication of whether their aircraft is above or below the desired glide path towards the runway. This standard aims to ensure uniformity and safety across all installations of PAPI systems within Korea, aligning with international aviation standards while incorporating specific regional requirements and considerations. By adhering to KS W 5051-1993(2023), stakeholders in the aviation industry can enhance operational efficiency and compliance, thereby improving overall air traffic management and safety.
