Very tight reversal for a widebody at M5. Gotta know yer 'plane.
Air Canada 777 did the same thing a few years back at this spot. Apparently the f/o had a book or something on the right side which blocked the skipper's tiller from getting full pivot. Hello grass.

B777 tiller is in a different location than the 747 and different plane of rotation and seems like it may be more vulnerable to jamming. I discovered this during pushback in the sim with the top of a briefcase open which became jammed. Keep that area clear for ground ops is important.
