Method for identifying an airplane and indicate airplane type and version in connection to parking of the airplane at a gate or a stand, for possible connection of a passenger bridge (1) or a loading bridge to a door of an airplane, where the airplane (5) is positioned and stopped at a predetermined position using a touchless measurement of the distance between the airplane and a fixed point, where the distance is indicated on a display (6) mounted in front of the pilot of the airplane on for instance an airport building (7), which display (6) is caused to show to the pilot the position of the airplane (5) in relation to a stop point for the airplane and to show the current airplane type and version, where the said distance measurement and display are caused to be activated by a computer system (20), belonging to the airport, or manually, and wherein an antenna (16) is caused to receive information transmitted by an airplane (5). The invention is characterized in that the information signal (17) which is transmitted by the airplane (5) is caused to be received by a directed antenna (16) which is positioned in connection to said display (6) and directed towards the stand at which an airplane is expected to arrive, in that the antenna (16) is connected to the control system (18) of the docking system, in that at least the identification number of the airplane is extracted from the said information (17), in that information regarding airplane type and version in question for a certain identification number is obtained from a database (14), in which identifications numbers of the airplanes are stored, and is transferred to the said control system (18) which is caused to control the said display (6) at the stand at which an airplane with a read identification number is to park and, on the display, indicate airplane type and version. |
