
Docking procedure:

Too far distance: The maximum distance the aircraft may have travelled past
the stop-position before the system will signal a
TOO FAR condition.

Max speed: The maximum speed the aircraft may approach the system with
before the system signals a
SLOW sign.

Skip engine verification: If checked, the engine verification is not performed
for this aircraft instance.

Skip engine verification in downgrade condition: If checked, the engine
verification is not performed for this aircraft instance during downgrade
conditions.

Prefer engine-ID on bridge side: By default engine-ID performs the check on
the side away from the bridge. Activating this option makes the system to
prefer the bridge-side engine instead. This can be used if the approach is
such that this option makes it easier for the system to perform the check.

Extend ID-fail limit: Can be used to extend with up to 10m the minimum
distance to the stop-position for the activation of the
ID-FAIL message.

Aircraft configuration:

Category: Used for, among other things, BridgeIn logic. Enter one or more
“categories” (separated by a comma) where the particular aircraft should be
included in. These categories are then available for use in the schematics.

Tag: Used to make aircraft instances unique by entering one or more tags.
These are used to find a specific aircraft configuration instance when
dockings are started from SafeControl
– Apron Management system. For
example, to specify an aircraft configuration instance with winglets, “WL”
(without quotes) is entered.
4.8.2 Creating a Stop Position on a Centreline
At the bottom left there are fields and buttons used to create a new stop-position on
the currently selected centreline. First, enter a distance in meters, and then give it a
name. Press then the stop reference button (nose, nose wheel or door) that matches
your needs to create a new stop-position with the newly entered values. Following
aspects are to be considered:

Each stop position must be uniquely named, per centreline.

There can be only one stop-position with a specific distance and reference.

The shortest distance that is accepted is 4.0m.

A stop-position can be adjusted in
dividually using the “pen” button and deleted
using the red “X” button. Stop reference cannot be changed.

All stop-position
s can be moved by a certain distance using the button “Delta
Move”. Enter a positive or a negative value to move the positions away from or
closer to the system.
4.8.3 Adding an Aircraft to a Stop Position
An aircraft can be added to a stop-position by using drag-and-drop from the list of
available aircrafts and generic aircrafts on the right side.
4.8.4 Modifying Content in Aircraft Menu
In addition to the standard operator panel, the system also supports a 54-key
extension panel. The image below shows the editor for both panels; the left side is the
standard panel with the extension panel to the right. Both editors use drag-and-drop
operations to place an aircrafts on the appropriate place.
