I'm with Don, it's a jet and a turn is a turn.
EWB do you fly dugongs? It takes 55 meters to do a 180° turn and the procedure is a page long. It requires full braking and power on the outboard engine and we never ever have the opportunity to practice if not in the sim.
I've been three years on the thing without ever having to do one.
It may fly like any other Airbus but on the ground it sucks.
