Default Centerlines on taxiways

My understanding is that you're always supposed to follow the centerline
of a
taxiway with your nose wheel. However, I find that in very large
aircraft,
such as a 747, doing so allows the rear of the aircraft to very nearly
roll
off the taxiway in turns; it seems that I must swing the nose outward
towards
the edge of the taxiway in turns so that the rear portion of the aircraft
stays reasonably centered--in much the same way that one steers a bus on a
city street. Is this kind of swinging outside the centerline the correct
way
to do it, or am I missing something?


You're missing something.

However, in your situation, just check to make sure you keep adiqate spacing
between the bedroom door and the hall closet. And be careful not to knock
over Mom's table lamp.
