If ATC request you to back taxi then I'm sure they have planned for you to do so, hence you are not saving them a couple of minutes.....just yourself!!
We might not need a lot of runway to get airborne, but the more beneath you on climb out, the more options available to you in an emergency situation.
Why give some cards back when you've been dealt a good hand??!! |
