- Contexto
- The factors to be considered in evaluating the need for a visual docking guidance system are in particular: the number and type(s) of aircraft using the aircraft stand, weather conditions, space available on the apron and the precision required for manoeuvring into the parking position due to aircraft servicing installation, passenger loading bridges, etc.
- Conventional visual markings for stand entrance and parking are being replaced by more complex VDGSs. These systems are able to give precise information on alignment and distance to go to flight crew members. Some are able to detect the type of aircraft. Such VDGSs should be integrated within the A-SMGCS.
