A method and apparatus for aligning a swing tail cargo door. An alignment system comprises an alignment ramp, a set of pull-in hook mechanisms, and a set of lock trains. The alignment ramp may be configured for initial alignment between a swing tail cargo door and an aircraft fuselage during closing of the swing tail cargo door. The set of pull-in hook mechanisms may be disposed along an interface between the swing tail cargo door and the aircraft fuselage and may be capable of a final alignment between the swing tail cargo door and the aircraft fuselage during the closing of the swing tail cargo door. The set of lock trains may be disposed along the interface and may be capable of locking a plurality of latch actuators in the latched position.
