ASD+

Safety Features

The operator enables the system with a simple push button and manages the final docking movement using an approach joystick, preventing any un-commanded movement.

The sensitive bumpers protect all unit front edges from damaging the aircraft should contact occurs and, automatically trigger and record an impact event requiring reporting and inspection.

The wheel angle sensor also warns the operator if, after the loading operation has finished and before going in reverse, the wheels are not straight and a potential side movement could occur. All these safety features of the ASD+ are designed to protect the aircraft and pave the way for potential future automation.
