That gives a good overview of how the VASI works from a pilot's perspective, but it still doesn't show exactly how the vasi bars are positioned relative the threshold, the runway edge and each other. And it doesn't show details of the bar itself. I assume a VASI bar is a row of individual lights, but how many? How far apart are the individual lights in the bar placed?
