Who needs parking sensors when you've got two red paddles. 🏓🏓 airside_ian on Instagram showcasing his impressive marshalling skills. Do you know what the signals mean? | Heathrow Airport

This is how an airport marshaller helps the pilot reach the exact parking spot using internationally approved hand signals. After landing, the pilot cannot see the ground clearly from the cockpit, so the marshaller becomes their eyes. Every movement of the hands tells the pilot when to slow down, turn, stop or shut down the engines. This system keeps the aircraft and people on the ground safe while parking the plane correctly. 🔥:: @_official___320 #knowledge #facts #didyouknow #thistory #yp #in
