Abstract: The invention refers to a method for the guidance of aircraft on the taxiways (R) of the airport apron with position lights (FE) located on the taxiways (R) and, possibly, other locations on the apron. It comprises the following steps: determination of the current aircraft position with a defined precision by means of a navigation system (NAV); position detection and measurement of the lights by means of a sensor (SEN) arranged on the aircraft, provision of reference information (REF) including the positions of the individual lights (FE), comparison of the path pursued by the navigation system (NAV) with the reference information (REF) and utilization of the detected lights (FE) as waypoints for the navigation system (NAV), and therefrom determination of the current aircraft position with a higher precision than that of the original position determination by the navigation system (NAV); generation of guidance information (FRG) based on the determined aircraft position.

Abstract: A steering column for a motor vehicle comprises struts as a support of the steering column tube on vehicle parts. At least one of these struts extends in the transverse direction of the vehicle. On at least one transversely extending strut, at least one separating point is constructed by way of which, in the event of a crash load, the strut can be divided into mutually separated strut parts. During a crash, an unfavorable movement of the steering column tube is therefore prevented.
