Verfahren zur Führung von Flugzeugen auf Rollwegen

摘要

The invention relates to a method for guiding aircraft on taxiways (R) of the airport ramp area, whereby position lights (FE) are arranged on the taxiways (R) and optionally at additional locations of the airport ramp. The method comprises the following steps: Determining the momentary position of the aircraft with a particular exactness by means of a navigation system (NAV); detecting and measuring the position of the light with a sensor (SEN) which is arranged on the aircraft; making the reference information (REF) with the positions of the individual lights (FE) available; comparing the path tracked by the navigation system (NAV) with the reference information (REF) and utilizing the detected lights (FE) as interpolation points for the navigation system (NAV), and from this; determining the momentary position of the aircraft with an increased exactness compared to that of the initial position determination of the navigation system (NAV); generating guidance information based on the position of the aircraft which is determined according to the inventive method.
