The release of AirportSim is approaching fast, so it is a good time to introduce the next task you will undertake in the game scenarios.
Generally speaking, a Marshall at an airport performs many different functions. What he is most associated with is guiding aircraft to their parking place. You will surely associate from various photos or movies the image of a man with special luminous objects in his hands, who makes different gestures to guide the pilot of an aircraft to the correct destination - this is our "Marshall."
What you'll find interesting is that at many airports, the word "marshall" is also used to describe a man or woman who is also responsible for other activities, such as conducting runway inspections, dealing with technical assistance subcontractors in terms of adhering to operational safety standards at the airport, ensuring the proper operation of facilities and terminal, ending with supervision of terminal access along with parking areas.
In other words, a "Marshall" is often a person who assumes the responsibility for the proper technical operation of the airport.
In AirportSim terms, however, the task defined as "Marshall" is fully defined to one specific role - ensuring the safety of an aircraft that is pulling up to it's parking space.
