Or just park your B777 in the middle of where the two 737's are.
This would be fine for an arriving 777 but, unless remedied, the PCN of taxiway Mike appears to significantly restrict payload/range for the departure.
I'm surprised that the PCNs of Taxiaways Lima and Mike were not increased following the extensive works that were carried out on them a couple of years ago. Is it just a case that the necessary technical assessment has not been carried out yet or is there an underlying structural issue?
When the EARL scheme was being designed, I seem to recall that one of the design challenges was that they were tunneling through shifting sands or something of that ilk. Are shifting sands an issue that affects, and perhaps limits, the PCNs of certain parts of the EDI infrastructure or is there some other explanation for the PCNs of Taxiways Lima and Mike remaining so weak?
One potential solution to the weaknesses of Taxiways Lima and Mike might be to extend the lengths of stands 6-10 as suggested in one of my previous posts.
