Its considered bad for to "power" out of parking because it throws rock
on the plane next to you. Generally you pull the plane out before
starting the engine. Some people use tugs but most use a tow bar and
pull it. Its not very heavy unless you have to go up hill. Its about
like pulling an economy car by hand.

In simulation, I note that I'm apparently expected to have my plane
pushed back from its parking place before I start the engines and
taxi, judging from the way the aircraft are parked (with very little
room to turn around on their own). Are real small aircraft tugged and
pushed back, or do you just start the engines and move out under your
own power?
