Narrative:
Commercial airport pages do not show a PAPI located on the left side of runway 27R. (Both runway 26 and runway 27L have PAPI's on their right; which are shown on charts; but there is a PAPI on left side of runway 27R approximately between taxiway D and runway 35.) concern is low visibility situation. A pilot would only be expecting malr based on 11-10 and 10-9A; but would see a PAPI also. Recommend we get charts corrected.
