Overview

The PCL-TCV Tri-Color Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI) is a ground-based visual aid designed to assist pilots in maintaining a safe and consistent glide path during the final approach to landing at airports and heliports. This system utilizes a multi-light unit that projects three distinct colors—red, green, and amber—to indicate the pilot’s position relative to the desired glide slope. The system is intended for use at small airfields or heliports where simplicity and cost-effectiveness are prioritized over a more precise multi device system like a multi-light Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI).

Features

  • VASI: A single optical assembly containing a redundant high-intensity LED light source and a color-filtering mechanism to emit red, green, or amber light based on the viewing angle.
  • Mounting Structure: A stable, weather-resistant 3” Schedule 40 PVC pipe stand cemented 12” into the ground and standing 10” above ground for the airport version. 4” above ground for the heliport version.
  • Power Supply: Requires 100-240V AC, 50-60Hz power, consuming approximately 16 watts.
  • Alignment Mechanism: Adjustable mount to calibrate the VASI’s vertical angle to match the intended glide slope (typically 5–7° for general aviation and 6–8° for a helipad). Adjustment available is +3° vertically for each mount version. Example: Airport 5° mount version adjusts from 5-8° vertically. Heliport 7° adjusts from 7-10°. Custom mounts of any configuration are available.
  • Dual LED bulbs for redundancy. A single bulb still allows for an effective view at night.
  • Lenses – High quality lenses for increased optical clarity and transparency, designed specifically for outdoor use.
