Best airports for backtaxiing

Where have you back-taxiied throughout your Infinite flight career and how enjoyable was it?

What is Backtaxi?

Backtaxi (also known as backtrack) ground procedure which involves the use of any portion of a as a taxiway for an aircraft to taxi in the opposite direction from which it will take off or has landed. The procedure is commonly used at smaller airports and private strips which may not have separate paved taxiways parallel to the runway. It is a higher-risk procedure, as pilots may not see, or hear the radio transmissions from, aircraft taxiing on the runway.

London City, Princess Juliana, and Gibraltar. Nothing extraordinary.

I loved particularly London City, now though they do have an additional taxiway added it makes there operations run smoother. :)

Additionally, Gibraltar is really nice also. 🇬🇮

Most regional Japanese airports are nice IRL since they have marking, lights, and even electronic signs that act as PAPI lights indicating when you should start turning around on the runway. They’re mainly for 767’s to use since ANA and JAL fly them into airports with short and narrow runways.

If you have access to airport charts, you can find the diagram :)

LCY recently added a full length parallel taxiway so there’s no need to backtrack 09 anymore :)

Uh, it says backtaxiing in the title. So backtracking and back taxiing would mean the same thing. I’m thinking backtracking as of the sudoku project that I have done during my Artificial Intelligence class
