Aircraft is parked on an airport as soon as it lands for loading and unloading of passengers and other services. Since the pilot cannot estimate the distances from other aircraft or obstructions, there has to be a crew to assist the pilot when parking for security which is carried out via hand signals called marshalling. Aircraft marshalling is a visual way of ground crew to communicate with the pilot by utilizing bats or lighted wands, depending upon the time either day or night. Aircraft Marshallers

Review of the Literature Approach-and-landing accidents (ALAs) have been a persistent aviation safety concern. As early as the Wright brothers’ pioneering efforts of manned flight, controlled landing without crashing was a target end state of successful flight (Wright Brothers Aeroplane Company, n.d.). More than a century later, perturbations to the approach and landing phases of flight prevail. In an earlier study by the FSF ALAR Task Force, the average worldwide fatal ALA rate from 1980 through

The proposed maritime Tracking Surveillance Radar (TSR) onboard of SPS stations, such as airship or High Altitude Platforms (HAP) or specialized aircraft known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), can comprise several sectored observations beams (a, b, c and d), which permanently turn around can use the left or right side turning, and can provide scanning of water surface as shown in Figure 1. Such tracking system is capable to provide observation of strictly round area with certain diameter and detecting
