Thanks a lot Farmer1.
I have some more questions if you don't mind.
When the pilot is given a move signal ( move-> ahead, backward, upward, downward, sideways), would the pilot fly the helicopter until a stop signal from the marshaller comes ? (This might sound like obvious to you, but I haven't found a written procedure.)
I assume that when the helicopter pilot approaches for landing, there is a certain altitude where the pilot would prefer to hover (so that he has eye-contact with the marshaller and is a safe altitude). If my assumption is correct, what would be such an altitude ?
P.S.: My department (part of a visual simulation company) is now checking, if we could build a desktop marshalling simulator using the technologies we have inhouse. I am trying to understand the basic requirements of such a simulation software.
Thanks again.
Devrim.
