I guess there's a reason why they don't want color-blind pilots, cuz I have not clue what you guys are seeing in that photo!

BTW - what motor is that?

I think they are looking at the two pairs of lights that are on the left side of the runway. I guess the lights will light up in different colors depending upon where your plane is and what it's doing when you're trying to land.

I suspect the motor is the V-8 from Mrmerlin's 928S4 that's in his signature.

When I transitioned from Hornets to Herks I was high on final a lot due to carrier approaches being steeper. My IP was very understanding.

its a 1987 928 S4 , 5.0 L 32valve 4 cam engine
Doing the standard water pump and timing belt as well as rebuild the timing belt tensioner and replace the oil pump O rings, and the front main seal

About the light colors .
These are are called a VASI= Visual Approach Slope Indicator,
the lights on the left side of the runway will show a different color based upon how high you are over the ground at a certain point,
its used to give a pilot an accurate guide to establish a safe usually 3 degree glideslope to the runway.

As has been previously posted it appears that the far lights are turning pink from being white, and the near lights are white. This would indicate slightly higher on the desired 3 degree glideslope


The readings of the lights are

white over white = higher than 3 degree glideslope

red over white = your on a 3 degree glideslope

red over red = your below the 3 degree glideslope

first two pictures are a 1984 928 16 valve single cam engine before and after the water pump and belt service this engine was a mess.
This 16V engine also had the passenger side cam bolt get loose this then let the cam pulley snap down the middle,
then this in turn broke the driverside cam snout off requiring new pulleys and cams

second two pictures are of my 1988 S4 before and after restoration of the car and the drive line

We had fun taking pictures for her portfolio. Most of those pictures she saved for her own use.
Like they say, "There is no bad publicity". Have any legitimate work for Kat ?
That pic got ME branching out!!!
