ABSTRACT:
Visual displays for aircraft parking, particularly a composite signal light display having red, yellow and green lights and an adjacent parking light display for signalling aircraft alignment or misalignment with respect to an aircraft terminal passenger ramp of "gate". The parking light display includes linearly separated green and red neon tubes. The display includes an opaque background panel which is secured upon an air terminal exterior, so as to support simultaneously the red, yellow and green signal lights in vertical orientation and the linearly separated green and red neon tubes in vertical parallel with the signal lights. Misalignment of the aircraft with respect to the terminal gate is visualized by the pilot as the green neon tube being laterally displaced to left or right of the red neon tube. A hand held override switch is provided, such that the ground personnel may activate the red, yellow or green signal lights, so as to signal aircraft advance or stopping, as the gate is approached.
