boeing 747

Hmmmm...... Well first I would say centerline. The main gear is 75 feet wide. Stay on center line and all is well. Just like any other airplane. And the book spells out how to do a 180 using the visual ques available on the flight deck. You can turn the airplane around easily with the body gear steering. Have to be careful to enter the turn with enough energy though. You dont want to blow anything over behind you with thrust! If the body gear steering is mel'd it gets a little tricky.
See Boeing.com website. Outboard main gear is 41' from outside of outboard left main tire to outside of outboard right main tire. 36' from center of outboard axle to center of other outboard axle.
