Hi!
Maybe sounds like a stupid question but since passing my test 3 years ago I have always taxied into a parking space. Lately i've found myself having to taxi up to a space and push in. It's such a tight area and being afraid to damage other aircraft I normally keep well away and leave plenty space. The downside to this is that I am usually well off the mark and need to manoeuvre the aircraft into position. Pushing back isn't the issue, it's trying to straighten the aircraft up without the use of a towbar, which my school doesn't have.
I've read online that you can push down the tail (PA-38) and position the nose that way?
