If a pilot sees more white lights, they are too high; more red lights indicate they are too low. The ideal glide path shows two red and two white lights, signaling the aircraft is on the correct approach angle. 3. **Different Systems**: There are two common types of PAPI systems- two-light and four-light. The four-light system is more precise, providing a finer indication of the aircraf
