The Parallax Aircraft Docking System (PADS), a visual guidance docking system that can be used by both pilots on an incoming aicraft and is visible to pilots in all weather conditions, is launched by the ASM Group. Currently being trialed at a leading UK airport, PADS is a group static system that combines the principles of parallax with the latest LED technology to provide clear stand centerline guidance and stopping information on one display. PADS displays individual aircraft type, aximuth pointer, and stopping position information. Can be individually configured by both pilots to each stand and for a range of different aircraft types; www.asmgroup.info.
