= Using the Ramp Marshall = | |||
To use the ramp marshall with a compatible aircraft at a compatible airport (scroll down to see how you can make aircraft and/or airports compatible), simply taxi to the gate/ramp you want to park at and click on the marshall waiting at the ramp. His hands should move from rest position (both wands down by his sides) to direct you to the ramp. It's recommended to taxi to the ramp on the taxiway lines as long as you can see them and once they go out of view, follow the marshall's instructions. Make sure that you're not taxiing faster than 5 to 10 kts at the ramp. | |||
Currently, the ramp marshall knows the following signals - | |||
* Move forward | |||
* Turn Left | |||
* Turn Right | |||
* Slow down and stop | |||
* Immediate stop | |||
But we're teaching it new signals. If you want to teach it a signal, scroll down to find out how. To find out what the signals look like, take a look at the videos above. | |||
