If I remember rightly, if the marshaller is waving his/her left arm up and down, they want me to turn to the right, and vice versa. Is this correct?
Nope - other way around. It makes sense, as long as the marshaller is facing you. He waves his left arm up and down, which is the arm on the right as you look at him. That means that he wants the right hand side of your aircraft to continue moving, but not the left - i.e. you could apply left brake to get the desired effect, and hence turn to the left. (Of course you wouldn't use left brake, you'd use the rudder pedals, but it's a handy way of thinking about it - the side that's waving keeps moving, and the side that stops, stops.)
Oh boy, I hope I've got that right!
Remember, though, that the signals are the same
regardless of which way the marshaller is facing. For example, he could be standing off to your left, waving both arms up and down. That means you have to move forward. It does
not mean you have to turn towards him - although that's what you'd probably want to do in that scenario.
Have fun!
