Can somebody explain to me the use of "heavy turns" when turning from a parallel taxiway to hold short at the end of the runway? Is being exactly perpendicular to the runway when holding short really that important? I don't really care if anybody does it, I'm just curious as to why. Kind of like the "how long is final" thing...
With regard to "heavy turns", or rather judgmental oversteer, its not hurting anything and beside its good practice for getting to know where the aircraft's rear wheels really are. Very helpful if you ever have to maneuver on narrow taxiways to avoid dragging your wheels through the mud.
The only problem I have is why people actually give a rats a$$ what other people do, especially since it doesnt affect/concern them in the first place.
Also remember that passengers notice. They are used to mainline flights, which are most often A/P on from flaps up to Vapp.
