Centerlines on taxiways
My understanding is that you're always supposed to follow the centerline of a
taxiway with your nose wheel. However, I find that in very large aircraft, such as a 747, doing so allows the rear of the aircraft to very nearly roll off the taxiway in turns; it seems that I must swing the nose outward towards the edge of the taxiway in turns so that the rear portion of the aircraft stays reasonably centered--in much the same way that one steers a bus on a city street. Is this kind of swinging outside the centerline the correct way to do it, or am I missing something? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
