APIS++ Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System
superior since 1972
Unique features of APIS++ dramatically improve safety and significantly reduce turn-around time.
- FMT invented the Visual Docking Guidance System (VDGS) in 1972 and has continued to innovate since 
- Exclusive FMT azimuth guidance system provides real-time uninterruptable azimuth guidance visible to both pilots 
- APIS++ is a reliable, fast and easy system to setup and manage 
- High redundancy through the use of of independent sub systems 
- Only APIS++ can individually identify an aircraft with 100% certainty 
- Internal camera for stand surveillance and to record events on the stand 
- Only APIS++ can guide the pilot even prior to laser aircraft identification 
- Azimuth guidance is totally independent from the laser and can be provided at a distance of 200m 
- A patented feature continuously verifies laser measurements against the ground during the whole docking process 
- Only APIS++ has azimuth guidance that provides continuous and accurate guidance in real time 
- Laser accuracy exceeds ICAO Annex 14 standard and allow the Passenger Boarding Bridge to automatically connect to the aircraft 
- Only APIS++ performs obstacle scanning before and during the docking process
