KMEM parking for wide body aircraft?

[Richard McDonald Woods]

Hi Umberto,
I cannot find a parking that will cope with my B777-300ER or larger. Are there any

Try the spots numbered above 700

There are several of them in the FedEx Ramp area. It's easier if you use the GSX selection menu, so you instantly know which parkings are suitable.

And, since they are grouped by sectors with real names (such as "FedEx Ramp", for example), it's easier to select them from GSX, than having to scroll too many lines of "Parkings".

Many thanks for your help, Rudi and Umberto

I tried to park my Fedex 777 (PMDG 777LRF) at any Fedex ramp with GSX support. But so far ALL ramps were too small for the PMDG 777. So, is this really intended? I guess these are the parking lots of many widebody Fedex planes, and the 777 is among them. Or is it just a problem that the virtual radius of the PMDG 777 somehow doesn't fit with what GSX wants? I can't imagine there are so few (or even no) ramp(s) for the 777 in real life

That's not the case. I have several available parkings for the PMDG-777 in the "FedEx Ramp" area.

Of course, you can use the GSX parking customization page to edit any parking, with the "Max Allowable Wingspan", which of course must be used with moderation, being sure the airplane will *really* fit there.

There are three types of Parking at the FedEx Ramp  (excluding feeder) -

Type A - B757 and smaller
Type B - MD11 and smaller
Type C - B777 and smaller

In real life, Type C gates for the 777 are generally south of 27 near Hanger 26 (300 series).  Other options are 459-462.  There are a few other places, but that is the general location you will find them.

Enjoy!
