 +Before starting the pushback operation you can define the distance the aircraft is pushed back. 
 + 
 +If you push to the left or right you can even define the turn angel and an additional straight distance after the turn has been completed.
  
 To start a pushback operation just click on one of the three buttons ''​Push Left'',​ ''​Push Straight''​ or ''​Push Right''​ depending on the direction the aircraft should be pushed to. The program calculates for you the expected aircraft heading after the pushback below the buttons. To start a pushback operation just click on one of the three buttons ''​Push Left'',​ ''​Push Straight''​ or ''​Push Right''​ depending on the direction the aircraft should be pushed to.

-:i: Note: If the aircraft should be pushed straight back from a gate first and then to left or right, just use the ''​Push Straight''​ button first till the aircraft is far away enough from the gate to turn it in one direction. Then stop the pushback and use the appropriate push button for the direction you want.+:i: Note: The distances ​and turn angels are saved in the current [[features:​settings#​aircraft_profile|aircraft profile]].

-To stop a pushback operation again just click on the ''​Stop Pushback''​ button and the pushback will stop immediately.+
  
-:i: Note: The pushback ​does not stop automatically. So you need to stop it when the aircraft reached the desired location. You can always watch the exact position ​of the aircraft also on the [[modules:​Map]] module.+The pushback ​operation will stop automatically ​after the defined push distance and in case of pushback to left or right the turn including ​the additional straight distance after turn has been reached.
  
 +Of course, you can stop a pushback operation manually at any time by clicking on the button ''​Stop Pushback''​.
