Questions to wide-body drivers
Hi folks,
When taxing a wide-body airplane using the runway (width: 45m) as a taxiway how do you make an 180-degree turn to align the airplane prior to takeoff? Considering there’s a small adjacent turning area beside the runway threshold, for instance on your left, do you make an initial turn to that area and then a right turn to runway alignment or taxi close to the right runway lateral limit and then make a constant left turn in direction to turning area until reaching the runway alignment?
Thanks.
