Back taxi calls on Unicom radio

Should there be a radio call on the Unicom frequency for back taxinging on a runway like if you are at an airport and the taxiway doesn’t so all the way to the end of the runway and you half to back taxi then you can make a radio call saying “ Auckland international radio” New Zealand 118 heavy is back taxiing runway 05R then after you back taxi you can call that you are taking off same thing if you are landing and the only taxi way is too the main terminal you half to back taxi on the runway .

I like this idea a lot - there’s quite a few airport this would be useful at.

Honestly surprised this has not been implemented well before now.

100% got my vote!

I would love to see this as Feature in IF, I’ve flown in and out of a lot of airports where you would need to back taxi and having this would just enhance the realism!

It can be for all airports like if there’s a taxiway that dose not go to the other side you can make a radio call that you are back taxiing this runway then when you exit the runway you call clear of all runways
