Airbridge re-alignment?
 
Hi,

Just a quick question. Are there any aircraft types where after a flight parks up and the airbridge is attached, it has to be re-aligned as pax/bags/cargo come off, and fuel/bags/pax/cargo goes on? Do they "auto adjust?

Thanks.

All airbridges of my acquaintance autoadjust for a/c height changes during load/unload - sometimes much to the alarm of pax half in and half out :D

No so relevant anymore, but for Concorde's our jetbridges required someone to remain at the Jetbridge head as apparently the bridge auto-leveller would not adjust sufficiently. It was all to do with the location of the door in relation to the nosewheel, causing excessive rises compared to other aircraft.

Although it may have just been our old bridges.

Thanks DB,

I suppose that makes sense, what with the L1 door being so far from the NLG.
