A camera with a field of view toward an external environment of an aircraft is disposed within an aircraft door such that a ground surface is within the field of view of the camera during taxiing of the aircraft. A display device is disposed within an interior of the aircraft. A processor is operatively coupled to the camera and to the display device. The processor analyzes image data captured by the camera for docking guidance by identifying, within the captured image data, a region on the ground surface corresponding to an alignment fiducial indicating a parking location for the aircraft, determining, based on the region of the captured image data corresponding to the alignment fiducial indicating the parking location, a relative location of the aircraft with respect to the alignment fiducial, and outputting an indication of the relative location of the aircraft to the alignment fiducial.
