LED PAPI Installation — Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM), Cayman Islands

Cayman Islands · Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM)

Caribe Service & Equipment Inc. supplied, installed, and calibrated four Reliance LED PAPI units at Owen Roberts International Airport (GCM) in the Cayman Islands, giving arriving pilots precise, energy-efficient approach guidance.

The challenge. A Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) projects a red-and-white glidepath signal at an exact angle, and even a small calibration error affects approach safety. Owen Roberts needed reliable LED PAPI units installed and calibrated to aviation regulatory standards, then verified in a live flight check.

What Caribe Service delivered. Caribe Service supplied four Reliance LED PAPI units (L-880(L)/L-881(L)) and completed the full scope — base cans, concrete foundations, installation, and precision angle calibration. The team also accompanied the official flight check to confirm the correct angle settings and approach guidance.

The outcome. Owen Roberts now has compliant, low-maintenance LED PAPI approach guidance verified by flight check, improving approach reliability while cutting energy use compared with legacy incandescent lamps.
