-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.+Before starting the pushback operation ​you can define ​the distance ​the aircraft ​is pushed ​back.
  
-: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.+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.
