A little background:
I fly off a privately owned, public use (prior permission required) airport in the central San Joaquin Valley in California. It's used for ag work, as well as housing two King Air's on Part 135 tickets. 3600' x 50', lighted and paved.
I have been asked by the owners to look for an "affordable" (I know - oxymoron) VASI/VAPI that might be installed there for the charter operators. The runway is located at a rural farming headquarters with very little night lighting - going downwind there on a dark night is IFR (ask me how I know), and sometimes the crews for the airplanes are not familiar with the area - they need all the vertical help they can get.
Someone out there in VAF land must know of some options available.
Can you help?
Thanks
