Uk2000 EGLL v3 no pushback from parking 600+ cargo area

[chkl 34]

South cargo area of UK2000 EGLL v3, no pushback options from any of the parking spots like parking 603 604 or 605. It just tells me to start engines and have a nice flight. I should be able to push back to the left or right.

The position 601-606 are define as "nose to Taxiway" Parkingpositions in the AFCAD of UK2000, so AES will handle them the same, you get the offer to be pushed into the postions, but then you don't need to be pushed back for start your fight. Maybe the afcad is wrong here, but on older Google Earth images are parked that way, maybe it has changed now.

All the cargo airplanes park nose in and need to be pushed back either left or right at those spots.

Try editing the AFCAD with ADE. Turn the parking spots 180 degrees. That should allow pushback.

They are pointing the proper way, facing south.

So you turned them round ? Did you also change the pushback setting in ADE to BOTH ?

I think there's some confusion here..

Spots 601 - 606 "tow in" parking and not "taxi in". The airplanes, when parked at these locations, face NORTH, and are placed there by tug only.

Here is an example of an airplane parked at 604 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/andrewsimpson85/5062882679/

These spots are not part of the cargo terminal, they are overflow parking spots. 607 - 609 are the BA Cargo Terminal, and 611 - 616 are the other cargo spots in that area.
