pushback - non pushback positions

[Ron59 0]

It is well understood, that on a gate a truck is mandatory to push back the plane in a position where it can start to taxi.

What about roll-out positions? At EDDF there are many of them. Positions V153-V178 for example. Those are all one way. To taxi out straight.

Why P2A forces a pushback by giving taxi-clearance to "taxi on N" (to runway 18) from the present position? I skipped the request for pushback, as it is not neccesary, instead reported "Ready to taxi".

In the scenery all the above mentioned positions are "one way" facing south.

By using the taxi/maintanace tool i could not figure out, how to change this.

If you're in a pull through slot, then just request engine start and not pushback and engine start.  Or, as you did, just request taxi.  There is no requirement enforced by P2A to request pushback or engine start.

P2A does not use taxiway directional information at present.
