Backtrack on runway
Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2015 7:25 pm
Hi,
Last summer I was at Skiathos for my vacation and as you can imagine I spent most of my time at the airport. While I was watching I had a question. Most of the a/c after backtracking on the runway they used a clockwise turn to line up but I noticed a couple of them using an anticlockwise turn to do so. So my question is. Is there any rule conserning the turn, maybe mentioned on maps or it is up to the pilot to decide which one to use?
Thanks
