Hello.
I have been controlling Tower and Ground on the Training Server more and more recently and I was just wondering about one thing.
On an odd occasion, pilots don’t follow ATC instructions and taxi to the wrong end of a runway (the end thats in red/orange compared to green) and often request take off from that side when I have told them not to.
Should I allow them to take off? It feels as though I have given in to the pilot when they should be listening to me.
Thanks
Joe:)
Depends upon specific airport procedures, existing traffic and/or winds.
Depends in my opinion. If there is heavy traffic, no, because that will cause some issues. If there is no traffic, ask them to move, and if they decline, I would allow it for the sake of their stubbornness, because it’s TS after all.
Asking them to move would be - “Taxi to runway XX” ?
Yeah, I would say so.
