The parking tolerance has a base value that matches real world advertised specifications for VGDS parking accuracy, and when using a Marhaller, is increased.

At what point should I stop? When the bats meet? Earlier? Later?

When the bats meets but, of course, depending on

- your approach speed,

- the airplane ground friction/inertia model,

- the braking strength and the way you are braking ( keyboard/joy button/digital or analog/progressive brakes )

ALL of these factors have an effect how much in advance you need to brake, and how strongly.

Ray Proudfoot:
Umberto, I’m approaching at walking speed or slower. I use CH Pro Pedals. Analogue braking. Aircraft range from 737 to a PC12 single engine. The tolerances appear extremely tight.

How far from the perfect spot do you class the parking as too short or too far?

+/- 50 cm for Marshaller, or 30 cm for other parking systems.
