Where do I find taxiway restriction information in Navigraph Charts? There are certain airports where I fly the PMDG 737 that have taxiways that look a bit narrow for a commercial airliner, so I want to know which taxiways I should avoid.

That's usually something on the ATIS or notams.

Don't remember seeing that on charts.

The full charts should show any specific restrictions. YVR for instance just because I work there has 4 pages of them in the CAP, with Navigraph charts they use Jepp shows most on the Airport info page.

That would be for temporary changes, but I think @Christopher Low is asking for permanent restrictions on taxiway usage?

This tends to be in the "Airport Briefing" section. For example, for EDDF, look at chart 10-1P4 (section 1.6, "Taxi Procedures") and following, with a detailed description of the limitations.

Some airports, again EDDF for example, do also have charts for temporary changes of longer duration. See for example charts 10-8B, 10-8D and 10-8E.

I would refer to the charts under the "Taxi" tab. For large airports there may be separate taxiway restriction charts for various wingspan.

 

Alternatively look in the Airport briefing info usually found at the top of the charts list and refer to any taxi restrictions mentioned in either the arrivals or departure procedures.

Since I cannot see any restrictions for taxiway Hotel at BIRK Reykjavik, I assume this means that I could use this taxiway with my PMDG Boeing 737-600?

Yes!

Also, this coincides with checking NOTAMs, knowing your aircraft's taxi limitations and bringing it all together during your taxi planning with the charts.

Of course. Usually restrictions do not apply for narrowbodies. Everything from a 747 and above will have their own charts at times, but with a simple 737 I would never worry about not being allowed to taxi anywhere.

Another case in point is ESSV Visby. Taxiway Mike is rather narrow, which made me think that my 737 should not be taxiing on it. However, the charts indicate that it is available for Category C aircraft in daylight, so my 737-600 qualifies for that. It is borderline with respect to landing weight for my 737-800/900s, but it should be OK for simulated purposes 

I use the  jeppesen flight deck pro app on an iPad at work. That has a tailored AMM airfield moving map on which you can select the restricted taxiway slider. That then displays taxiways where the 787 isn’t allowed in red.

Just giving an example of a real world solution, not sure if there’s a simulator equivalent feature available in navigraph.
