Final approach
Often people think that the airship 1930. could land vertically like a helicopter - in fact, it can be done only in the complete absence of wind. In real conditions for landing the airship is required as to enable the land, people picked up and discarded from different points of the airship ropes and tied them to a suitable ground targets, then the airship can pull up to the ground. However, the most convenient and safest way to landing (especially for large airships) - berthing for special towers.
From the top of the mooring mast dropped the rope, which paved the ground for the winds. The airship came to the mast on the leeward side, and with his nose and dropped the rope. People on the ground tied the two ropes, and then winch hauled the airship to the mast - his nose was fixed in the docking slot. Moored airship can rotate freely around the mast like a weathercock. Docking was able to move the mast up and down - this allows you to omit the airship closer to the ground for loading / unloading and boarding / disembarkation of passengers.
To create a dirigible hangar in a strong wind, required the efforts of up to 200 people.
