I have been asked by a friend if there is an internet list of wheel spaceing for aircraft. He needs a quick chart to look at to decide if a certain aircraft will fit along a certain taxiway.

Thanks.

It's the other way around dear chap. Aerodrome listings state the width of their taxiways; it's then up to you to ensure that your aeroplane can safely use them. If the width is found to be marginal, you'd have to speak with the airfield operator for either a marshaller or a tug. The aircraft commander is responsible for the safe operation of his/her aeroplane at all times.

Airport compatibility information for Boeing and McDonnell Douglas aircraft:
Boeing: Commercial Airplanes - Commercial Aviation Services - Flight Operations - Airport Technology - Airplane Characteristics for Airport Planning (http://www.boeing.com/commercial/airports/plan_manuals.html)

No idea where Airbus hides their data, but it's likely to be public information.

N707ZS,

Not many public lists. What aircraft type is it; I may have some data.

I think it's bizz to 767 size. I might have to spend some time Googling if I get the chance.
