<p>The invention relates to a system for indicating the parked state of an aircraft using means belonging to the aircraft, such that personnel can safely approach the aircraft. The system comprises two types of indicator lights disposed on at least one of the legs of the landing gear. According to the invention, the first type of indicator is a continuously powered mechanical indicator (1) and the second is an indicator light (5) powered from the power bus of the aircraft. The indicators indicate the aircraft state depending on the position or activation of lighting means of one colour or another. The system also comprises a control unit (5) for controlling the two types of indicator lights, which receives information from: a sensor associated with the release lever (6) of the landing gear of the aircraft, a micro-switch (7) which indicates whether or not the wheels are supporting weight, a sensor associated with an actuating lever of the parking brake, also known as the hand brake.</p> |
