Dec 13, 2005 (newstodate): The inaugural Dubai bound flight of the Airbus A380-800 generated the first-ever blocks on time stamp.
The aircraft was guided to its designated stop position by Safegate's laser-based Safedock Visual Docking Guidance System, VDGS.
The size of the A380 aircraft and the existing airport infrastructure requires that the 380 park extremely close to the terminal wall. To meet the demand safely, the Safedock can park the A380 as close as 2 meter with an accuracy of plus/minus 10 cm.
