APAPI stands for which visual approach slope indicator type?

• A. Automatic Precision Approach Path Indicator
• B. Abbreviated Precision Approach Path Indicator
• C. Analogue Precision Approach Path Indicator
• D. Advanced Path Approach Indicator

Answer: (B)

APAPI stands for Abbreviated Precision Approach Path Indicator. It’s a compact version of the standard precision approach path indicator that provides pilots with glide slope guidance using a row of lights. The term “Abbreviated” signals its smaller, space-saving form while still delivering the same glide path information as a full PAPI system. The other options aren’t the established names for this visual aid—automatic, analogue, or advanced aren’t used to describe this device.
