Abstract
An inclination detection device 11 for an aircraft includes a gravity sensor 13 that detects an inclination angle in a pitch direction at a parking time of a fuselage 1, an alarm device 16, and a control unit 17 that causes the device 16 to issue an alarm when the inclination angle detected by the sensor 13 approaches allowable limit inclination angles F4 and R4 in a forward inclination direction and a backward inclination direction of the fuselage 1. The control unit 17 has gravity center management information peculiar to the fuselage 1 inputted therein by a USB memory 20 or the like, and corrects a movable range in the forward and—backward inclination directions until the inclination angle reaches the angles F4 and R4 based on the gravity center management inclination information, before a loading and unloading operation of cargo into and from the fuselage 1.
