Straight-back option

[ESGG 4]

Hi!

I think it would be nice to have an option to push straight-back. Often it's difficult to figure out which direction you are supposed to have after push-back and the UGCX seems to be very sensitive about this. I know that UGCX is full of functions, which is nice for those who want a perfect push-back, but there is probably others like me, who just want to have the push done and get away.

Hi Johnny,

So you want an options to skip all the communications check stuff and just go straight to the pushback, right?

I think he means moving back in a straight line, no left or right turning

If you want to do that all you need to do is make a custom push back … do it straight back  then you are good to go.

True, but in that case I guess he will have to do this for every single parking/gate in every airport.
I think he just want's to be pushed back straight all the time so he doesn't have to figure out if it's east or west or ... and just taxi left or right himself after pushback. Probably this east-west-... indication is not too practical, left-right would make life a lot easier (but maybe not as in real life)

Yes, seahorse is right, my idea was to do all the stuff, but just have to say "Straight back" when it comes to in which direction the push-back should be made. Then the push would be done to the centerline behind, with no turning.
