Narrative:
On landing in phl, tower crossed a widebody transport Y at B taxiway. I had to make a go around. The tower (at 100 ft above the ground) told me to side step to 27L. This idea is terrible! Just turning the medium large transport X with a 40 ft wing span only gives you a 50 ft clearance above the ground. I told the tower they should just give a go around and not try and talk a pilot into sidestepping to 27L when you are only 100 ft above the ground.

Narrative: ON LNDG IN PHL, TWR CROSSED A WDB Y AT B TAXIWAY. I HAD TO MAKE A GAR. THE TWR (AT 100 FT ABOVE THE GND) TOLD ME TO SIDE STEP TO 27L. THIS IDEA IS TERRIBLE! JUST TURNING THE MLG X WITH A 40 FT WING SPAN ONLY GIVES YOU A 50 FT CLRNC ABOVE THE GND. I TOLD THE TWR THEY SHOULD JUST GIVE A GAR AND NOT TRY AND TALK A PLT INTO SIDESTEPPING TO 27L WHEN YOU ARE ONLY 100 FT ABOVE THE GND.
