Took a wrong turn,last night,at DXB,missed the turnon to my stand.There was absolutely know way that ATC could allow me to make a sensible 180 turn,from J2 to J1, even though it would have been following dozens of lead-in lines,to adjacent stands,albeight,in an opposing direction.
If it isn't written down as an approved procedure,no one in this day and age is going to allow it..Just a sign of the times,and I understood the ATC point of view.
So, 10 mins later,we had orbited C block,and returned to park.
Just,important to remember,....if it saves lives,....do it,...regardless of the general rule!
The box is not titanium!...unlike our two battery boxes
