for whch the stand is intended/pour lequel le point (de stationnement) soit prévu
I agree with Tony M.
The source text needs to be examined first.
It should be: All aircraft for which the stand is intended ...
I would also say 'with a tolerance of maximum' does not sound correct.
An aircraft stand is point de stationnement which may be shortened to 'point' seeing as it was shortened in English, but I am not sure about this.

Excuse my grammar, it should be pour lesquels ... soients if it refers to aircraft plural (I was thinking of aircraft as a singular unit as nothing else would be set out for parking by an aircraft stand)

Discussion
Are there any other clues to suggest that this EN text may be less than perfect?
My fear is that it could equally well be an error for 'intending to go to the stand' — an ambiguity it is vital to resolve!
