Powerbacks
Gerry,
Couldn't find the policy on powerbacks in the Aerodrome Manual, but I do know that these are only allowed off remote stands and even then not on a planned basis, only when a pushback is not possible for some reason and under carefully controlled conditions. At one time years ago the regular Saudi C130s used to power back off the 60s, and there was a trial with J41s too, which resulted in the present policy after the noise and prop wash proved hazardous along the piers.
