A camera with a field of view toward an external environment of an aircraft is disposed within an aircraft door such that a jet bridge cabin is within the field of view of the camera when the aircraft is within a docking distance of the jet bridge cabin. 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 by identifying physical characteristics of the jet bridge cabin, extracting, using the identified physical characteristics of the jet bridge cabin, alignment features corresponding to the physical characteristics of the jet bridge cabin that are indicative of alignment between the jet bridge cabin and the aircraft door, determining, based on the alignment features, whether the physical characteristics of the jet bridge cabin within the captured image data satisfy threshold alignment criteria to produce an alignment state, and outputting an indication of the alignment state.
