AIRCRAFT DOCKING GUIDANCE DEVICE

PURPOSE:To guide an aircraft accurately to its parking spot without guidance from the ground by displaying a collision warning light of the aircraft on a display as a position standard, a direction information and a distance information for the aircraft through catching it by means of a camera device. CONSTITUTION:A direction finding camera device, for example, a CCD camera 1 is arranged in the front direction of an aircraft 9 on an extension line of an aircraft approaching line 6 set on an apron so as to catch a collision warning light 13 on the upper part of the aircraft approaching the apron. A red image is extracted from red flashing lights emitted from the collision warning light 3 through a colour identifying unit of a measurement device 7 by using direction camera outputs of the CCD camera 1 so as to obtain its central point by performing an operation. And a dislocation volume between the central point of the collision warning light 13 obtained through an operation unit of the measurement device 7 and the approaching line 6 is found as direction information data through the operation unit so as to display the direction information on a display. According to this display, a pilot can stop the aircraft accurately at the parking spot without the help of a controller on the ground.
