Getting to the airport at oh-dark-thirty of a morning to find your aircraft pointing the wrong way given the prevailing conditions for an "approved" engine-start... "pushing" the (let's say minimum 3 tonne) aircraft around (by hand, in the absence of an approved tug) on your own, unassisted, may be a bit of a big ask... don'cha think???
I can think of any number of similar scenarios that my result in less-than-ideal engine-start conditions -but probably best we just pause there and really
think about what we're typing...
