direction of turn
Afraid I'm going to have to disagree with 411A.
If you envision Rwy. 36 with a turnout on the right side of the end, it will look like a P. The best way to turn to utilize all of the pavement is to hug the left edge, go to the end and make a hard right. My a/c has a turning radius of almost 140 ft. and is about 30' longer than the L1011-500, so I've got to make sure I've got everything going for me. I have a much better sense of where the nose wheel is as opposed to the mains.
Due to the torque forces on the inside gear, we can't use brakes on the inside to tighten the turn, so you've got to get it right the first time.
Wind direction has no effect on turning a large airplane, but if it's a little slippery, if you apply too much power, you can skid the nose gear and that will increase your radius.
pilotpj - in answer to your question, there's not really a right or wrong way to turn as long as you keep it on the pavement. Hope you get to fly the big ones soon.
