Narrative:

Aircraft landed runway 35 and turned onto taxiway K which is restr to aircraft of 75 ft wingspan or less. Tower requested a 180 degree turn to exit the taxiway and I felt the taxiway was too narrow to accomplish the turn safely. Subsequently the aircraft was marshalled past the fire station and crossed onto the main ramp area without incident. Commercial plate 11-1 for manchester, nh, lists txwys J, left, M as unusable by acrs. I feel that taxiway K should also be included in that group as most air carrier aircraft exceed 75 ft wingspan. Also, where taxiway K joins runway 17/35, it should be labeled as taxiway K. There were also several distrs while on vectors to final approach caused by numerous light aircraft in the vicinity which triggered TA/RA warnings requiring full attention outside the cockpit. Supplemental information from acn 274296: we were also told by airport personnel that we were not the first air carrier to make that same mistake.

Title: ACFT TAXIED FROM RWY ONTO TXWY THAT WAS RESTR FROM USE BY THAT ACFT.

Narrative: ACFT LANDED RWY 35 AND TURNED ONTO TXWY K WHICH IS RESTR TO ACFT OF 75 FT WINGSPAN OR LESS. TWR REQUESTED A 180 DEG TURN TO EXIT THE TXWY AND I FELT THE TXWY WAS TOO NARROW TO ACCOMPLISH THE TURN SAFELY. SUBSEQUENTLY THE ACFT WAS MARSHALLED PAST THE FIRE STATION AND CROSSED ONTO THE MAIN RAMP AREA WITHOUT INCIDENT. COMMERCIAL PLATE 11-1 FOR MANCHESTER, NH, LISTS TXWYS J, L, M AS UNUSABLE BY ACRS. I FEEL THAT TXWY K SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THAT GROUP AS MOST ACR ACFT EXCEED 75 FT WINGSPAN. ALSO, WHERE TXWY K JOINS RWY 17/35, IT SHOULD BE LABELED AS TXWY K. THERE WERE ALSO SEVERAL DISTRS WHILE ON VECTORS TO FINAL APCH CAUSED BY NUMEROUS LIGHT ACFT IN THE VICINITY WHICH TRIGGERED TA/RA WARNINGS REQUIRING FULL ATTN OUTSIDE THE COCKPIT. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 274296: WE WERE ALSO TOLD BY ARPT PERSONNEL THAT WE WERE NOT THE FIRST ACR TO MAKE THAT SAME MISTAKE.
