Introduction
This European Standard contains the requirements for an Advanced Visual Docking Guidance
System (A-VDGS) as it is described in the ICAO Annex 14. This standard covers the characteristics
of the electrical and mechanical components. This standard includes the software design where this
affects the required system performance and safety.
An A-VDGS is to be designed to achieve safe and precise guidance during the docking procedure of
an aircraft. The system provides at least a display which shows information of azimuth guidance and
stop information.
The use of an A-VDGS is in principle limited to a defined area with an opening angle and a border
distance to the stop point related to the centre line. The reference point for all distances and
guidance information at the aircraft is the central axis of the nose wheel.
It has to be considered that in some cases the topographical situation of an airport requires a
reduced working area for an A-VDGS which will result in the area being different from the
requirements stated herein.
For practical use on the airport it has to be considered that the detection range can be limited due to
the actual weather and visibility condition prevailing (fog, rain, snow, etc.).
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements of electrical and mechanical design, installation,
maintenance and testing procedures for advanced visual docking guidance systems.

power supply shall be provided with a local means of isolation in accordance with HD 60364. Where
necessary, overload protection devices shall be installed.
4.2.4.2 Input power availability

The requirements stated in this section are intended to ensure the safety of persons, livestock and
property against the risk of danger and damage which may arise in the reasonable use of A-VDGS
installations. The requirements are, where necessary, explained in greater detail in other sections of
this European Standard.
NOTE In electrical installations, two major types of risk exist:
• shock currents due to normal or fault conditions;
• excessive temperatures likely to cause burns, fires and other injurious effects.
4.3.2 Functional safety
The general design of the A-VDGS has to consider that in the case of any internal failures the system
shall ensure that no misleading information is presented to the user.
The system shall provide adequate self-test routines which detect immediately faults which affect the

NOTE It should be considered that for a detailed investigation and system analysis to take place a log including a
number of completed docking procedures in the history may be required.
In case of a major failure the display shall immediately present stop information to the pilot. If, due to
the nature of an internal failure, a stop information can not be generated the display shall as a
fail-safe mode be switched to show a blank display.
Each major failure shall be indicated on the local control panel and on the remote control (if
applicable).

4.3.3 Protection against electrical shock and burns
The design of the A-VDGS shall ensure that persons are protected against risks of injuries which

• the ignition of flammable materials due to high temperature or electric arc (thermal effects);
• damage due to excessive temperatures or electromechanical stresses caused by any overcurrents
likely to arise in live conductors (overcurrent);
• any harmful effects as a consequence of a fault between live parts of circuits supplied at different
voltages (overvoltage), or damage as a consequence of any excessive voltages likely to arise due
to other causes (e.g. atmospheric phenomena or switching overvoltages);
• excessive temperature in conductors, other than live conductors, and any other parts intended to
carry a fault current.
Conductive internal and external parts of the A-VDGS shall be earthed in accordance with HD 60364.
4.3.4 Protection against harmful radiation
Systems incorporating radiation producing components shall be designed so that humans are never
exposed to excessive radiation even when a system component fails or malfunctions.
If laser equipment is used, it shall be according to Class 1 defined in EN 60825-1. If other methods
using electromagnetic or other radiations are deployed, they shall fulfil a corresponding health and
safety level.
4.4 Installation and maintenance

Proper installation and periodical maintenance ensures that the components are in a condition so
that they allow operation of the A-VDGS so that the system meets the functional, design, installation,
technical interfacing and safety requirements.
4.4.2 Documentation
The procedures for installation and periodical maintenance (including levels and time intervals),
repairs, upgrades, modifications and re-calibrations shall be specified in the documentation provided
by the manufacturer.
4.4.3 Level of competency of the maintenance and installation personal
The installation and maintenance of the A-VDGS requires an adequate level of skilled personnel. The
