ABSTRACT:
A guidance system for use by a pilot in parking an aircraft on a parking place at an air terminal building and in stopping the aircraft at an exactly predetermined stopping point in the parking place. The system includes a transmitter unit having a plurality of transmitter elements disposed on the ground in the region of the parking place and successively following upon each other in the direction of travel of the aircraft. When the nose wheel of the aircraft successively passes over the transmitter elements these elements activate an information unit preferably mounted on the air terminal building within the pilot's field of vision. The information unit includes indicator elements which continuously inform the pilot of the length of the distance up to the stopping point and when this stopping point is reached.
