Earth's rotation is one of the considerations airport designers consider when locating park spots. West facing is safer.
In what sense is that safer? What are the risks mitigated by facing west?

That in turn would have to be countered by a bit of rudder trim, would it not?
Isn't there another thread on that subject?
