As shown in the photo, an aircraft ready for taxi is on the taxiway, and I am unable to use the drag-and-taxi feature. This issue also occurs during pushback, where I cannot use the auto-pushback feature on certain aircraft (e.g., when an inbound flight wants to depart after taxiing to the gate). Is this a bug? I’m curious about the logic behind switching between drag-and-taxi and auto-pushback, as it seems to be done automatically.
The switching between pushback commands and D&T is by the aircraft’s engines.
D&T require the engines up and running.
There are some known issues with Pushback and D&T at the moment and it’s been worked on.
If D&T is not available and engines are expected to run you could try to have the aircraft in sight. Usually that helps.
Regards,
Tom
