I've just been asked to write an article on Docking Guidance Systems in their various forms for a publication called Airside International.
Has the technology moved on at all in the four years since this thread was last updated? Any members' experiences with the various automated systems - good or bad?
I've ascertained that there are at least form manufacturers with an involvement in automated DGS - Safegate, FMT, Hobart Ground Systems and Honeywell. Has anyone any views on how well they work? Are the old fashioned ground marshallers going to finally hang up their bats?
