Not a lot of consideration taught these days, as most instructors, down under anyway, have never been in anything bigger than a 44. That said it doesn't help to leave your home builts, and super light aircraft, including small helicopters surrounding the only jet pump within flying distance. If you are dumb enough to park there I'm dumb enough to hover over them to get to it.

I have left more than my share of bumps in the grass and marks on the conc, dragging my skids along the ground to limit downwash as much as pos, but if there isn't a clear path to taxi I will get my gas some how... Sorry
