Follow Me and taxi ways

(1/2) > >>

Rajah:
Should it not be nice that after landing you can not only choose the gate but also the taxiways the Follow Me car has to ride?
With live ATC you don't have the choice the taxiways the Follow Me car chooses.
EFB has something like that.

Well, the whole point of having a FollowMe, is that you need guidance because you are not familiar with the airport, I don't think it's very realistic the pilot would suggest the path to the FollowMe vehicle.

Rajah:
Not the pilot would suggest the path, ATC tells you which taxiways you have to use.

Frans

virtuali:
In that case you would follow the taxiways using an airport map, and don't ask for a FollowMe.

Right now, GSX can't do that, and having an additional interface to select taxiways might be cumbersome and, nothing can guarantee the taxiways the ATC (especially a live controller) will assign to you, will be considered valid by GSX, it would be enough the controller had a map with some layout, and the AFCAD of the scenery was either outdated or too new and if taxiways changed, it would create a mess of misunderstandings.
