You call it running away, I call it making a tactical withdrawal.

A PAPI I think has 4 lights straight across.  The first two should be red and the last two should be white.  This means you are alright.    All white you are out of sight (too high), all red you are dead (too low). ;D   Just like the VASI only a different configuration of lights.
