Artist's Description
Once upon a time (at least in the United States), it was standard practice for some airliner types to get themselves off a gate by simply throwing the engines in reverse and backing themselves out onto a taxiway. I clearly recall this in the 90's, barely able to suppress a grin as DC-9s at Atlanta deployed their "buckets" and roared backwards. Perhaps elsewhere in the world, this practice is still in place, but for me, it's but a fond memory.
Instead, unless the aircraft has an unimpeded forwarded path to work with, a pushback is required.
