System Overview

The RLG GIS206-2 Laser Guided Docking System safely guides the parking aircraft to the precise parking position dictated by the terminal authority. The use of a a two axis scanning range finder laser allows the RLG GIS206-2 to present the parking information to both the pilot and the copilot simultaneously. Since the azimuth display is electronically controlled (rather than optically fixed) the information gathered from the laser scanner is presented in a display that can be readily read by either the pilot or the copilot such that either can dock the aircraft.

Further, the RLG GIS206-2 compares the features of the aircraft that is approaching the gate to a stored database of various aircraft types and alerts the pilot, the copilot, the gate personnel, and the host computer (if one is utilized) when the aircraft approaching the gate is physically inconsistent with the selected aircraft type.
