Difference Signalman/Marshaller?

[hvogt]

Hallo everybody!

I was wondering if somebody could explain the difference between a signalman and a marshaller. First I thought there was none at all, then I saw that the ICAO makes one.

In note 6 to ICAO Annex 2, Appendix 1, 5.1 it says "References to the signalman may also be read to refer to marshaller".

Best regards

May be i am being stupid but it seems to me from that quote that ICAO is saying that the words are interchangable.

>the person who stands under a wingtip to make sure there is clearance

That would be a "wingwalker" in ICAO terminology.

Indeed, but only in the given context.

"That would be a "wingwalker" in ICAO terminology."

I thought that was someone who stood on top of a Boeing Stearman's wing and waved at the crowds.........
