Where should returning aircraft taxi?

Returning aircraft follow a fixed recovery corridor that keeps them clear of active runways and aligns them with the ramp. The Kilo Line marks the boundary for this recovery/arrival path, so taxiing to the east of that line places the aircraft in the designated route to the ramp while maintaining proper separation from other movements on the west side. Being west of the line would put you in a different sector not designated for returns and could create conflicts with other traffic or runway operations. Moving along the taxiway centerline or being north of the line doesn't match the established recovery path and boundary, which is why the east side is the correct location for returning aircraft.
