Drops of Knowledge:

In Air Traffic Control (ATC) or general aviation jargon at Miami International Airport (MIA), the term "papies" is a colloquial reference to the PAPI lights, which stands for Precision Approach Path Indicator.
The PAPI is a visual aid system located next to the runway that helps pilots determine if they are on the correct glide path during final approach for landing. The system uses a row of lights (usually four) that appear either red or white depending on the aircraft's approach angle:
Four white lights: Aircraft is too high.
Three white, one red: Aircraft is slightly high.
Two white, two red: Aircraft is on the correct glide path (the "sweet spot").
One white, three red: Aircraft is slightly low.
Four red lights: Aircraft is too low.
The use of the slang term "papies" is an informal way to refer to this system in communications, likely between pilots or between pilots and ATC, as seen in accident reports where pilots stated they started the approach by intercepting the "papies".
