65m of wingspan really allows for one thing. Stay on the centreline. Oversteer turns. That's it.

Taxiing and ground ops technique is a 15+ page chapter in our 77W flight crew training manual, and for good reason.

If you don't know where you are, hold position. Get a follow me, get wing walkers. If the airport tells you there are none: Still hold position. Get anybody.
Better safe than bumping into something. Also, on the tape ATC tells them they're not in position, so clearly that was the clue where they shouldn't have taxied.
