Aircraft rear loading door is far away from terminal building
Hot blast is directed towards the terminal building
Overall apron area required is more
All the above
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is D. All the above.
In angle nose out parking configuration, the aircraft is parked at an angle to the terminal building. This has several disadvantages:
- The aircraft rear loading door is far away from the terminal building, which makes it difficult for passengers and cargo to be loaded and unloaded.
- Hot blast is directed towards the terminal building, which can be a safety hazard and can also damage the terminal building.
- Overall apron area required is more, as the aircraft needs to be parked at an angle to the terminal building.
Therefore, angle nose out parking configuration is not a very efficient way to park aircraft.
