Not much use kicking themselves after the event........should have had a heads up brief on previous Gf incidents.... the dangers of trying the impossible when ordered by ATC who know nothing of the taxi and turning abilities of GF/ EK widebody aircraft....
Possibly... it looks like the crew got caught out trying to do what they were told by ATC... sufficent pavement hardly being available for the manouvre asked for.....that is what happened twice at GF once in a L1011 at CDG and once at LHR in A340...still I am out of this thread you will be pleased to read.....expect a memo on the visual reference points on your aircraft and their use of guessing accurately where your wheels are....happy blind flying and blind surface manouvering...mind the wing tips..if you can see em.
Cheers and goodbyeee from Scan
