[Owen H]

Gate 22 is in a tight corner with aircraft and ground equipment for an adjacent bay not far behind, and as such engine start is always done after pushing from the bay and pointing away from the bay behind.

It would not be possible to do this if you needed to start on the bay.

[Grahame Hutchison]

Thanks Owen, I thought it would be something to do with the configuration of the Bay area.
