1. An aircraft docking guidance system using a three-dimensional (3D) laser scanner, the aircraft docking guidance system comprising:
a laser scanner configured to acquire data related to aircraft docking guidance and docking control;
a database configured to store information related to specifications and characteristics of each aircraft model that is a target of the aircraft docking guidance and docking control using the laser scanner;
a transceiver configured to transmit and receive information between the laser scanner and the database;
a processor configured to determine information of an object by comparing image information acquired through the laser scanner and information stored in the database;
a display configured to display information generated by the processor on a pilot guidance indicator; and
an aircraft controller configured to:
enable an automatic aircraft control based on information transmitted to the display, and
acquire inclination information of a 3-axis sensor, and in response to the inclination information deviating from an allowable value:
notify a user and modify three axes of the 3D scanner using a maintenance tool (MTT), or
automatically modify a 3-axis inclination value of the 3D scanner.
