Visual Docking Guidance System

Hello there,

I was advised to put this tread on this forum in order to get more pilot's attention on this subject, so here it is:

At LYBE we are trying to decide whether is better to repair our VDGS units or to buy a new one. In that manner I decide to consult ones (pilots) who know the best what are main features that makes one vdgs good.

What are the pilot's experiences with the visual guidance system on airports worldwide? Is the "Safegate" really so "safe"? What about FMT, Honeywell and ADB products? Which guidance technology has shown as the most friendly in parking operations - l@ser, ladar, radar, optic or the simple one with the bars and tubes, mirrors?

Thank you for helping me gather as much reviews to guide mo to the right conclusion about the world trends in visual docking guidance. So, whatever you think as important fact related to this subject - shoot!
