Because of size, a minimum pavement width of 128 feet is required for a 180º turn. This diagram assumes a turn is being initiated with the airplane in motion at approximately idle thrust on all engines, and no differential braking.In such a turn, it should be noted the wing tip swings out 19feet wider than the nose of the aircraft. So beware: clearing the nose does not guarantee clearing the wing tip. It should also be noted that the wings are not visible from the cockpit.
