Narrative:
During single engine taxi to gate, at lax, a commuter pilot complained bitterly about jet blast. Absolute minimum/idle power was used throughout the parking maneuver. No known damage to aircraft or personnel occurred. The only feasible way to correct this problem from happening again is to utilize tow-in procedures for gates in proximity of aircraft at lax.
