A system for landing a vertical take-off and landing aircraft includes a vertical take-off and landing aircraft, the aircraft having a light signal emitter. A landing station, has a camera including a lens for receiving the light signal emitted from the vertical take-off and landing aircraft. The landing station determines a normal line to the lens. The vertical take-off and landing aircraft communicates with the base The base receives the light signal at the camera and determines a lateral distance between the normal line and the aircraft. The landing station sends a control signal to the aircraft causing the aircraft to reduce the lateral distance between the aircraft and the normal line.
