Step 2

: Provided you have clearance to do so, switch to the Ground frequency and request taxi to parking, or if there is no active ATC, announce taxi on the Unicom frequency – listen out whilst you’re on the move for other traffic

Tip

: When you exit the runway, do not stop and keep moving unless this would cause a collision! You have the right of way and you may cause a conflict with traffic taking-off/landing behind you if you do stop

*If fitted – not all aircraft are currently equipped with an APU

Step 4

: Continue to check surroundings to make sure it is clear, use the Cameras and Mini Map to help you

Tip

: We recommend you do not exceed 40% N1 whilst taxiing, and once you’ve started to move, you typically don’t need more than idle power!

Step 5

: Use the Rudder to maintain the taxiway centerline and either the Rud Brakes or Park Brake to keep your speed under control

Tip

: Do not exceed 35kts groundspeed to avoid in game violations, we recommend you keep your speed below 25kts in a straight line and 10kts or less during 90° turns for a safe operation

Step 6

: If you need to cross a runway whilst taxiing, make sure to request runway crossing with the active ATC, or if there is no active ATC, announce crossing on the Unicom frequency – always check it’s clear before you enter the runway! Don’t forget to access the Systems menu and select the following:

Step 2

: Use the Rudder to maintain the taxiway centerline and either the Rud Brakes or Park Brake to keep your speed under control

Step 3

: Reduce groundspeed to under 10kts and use the oversteer technique if you are a large aircraft to align your aircraft with the centerline as you turn onto the stand or parking spot

If the gate has stand-guidance, follow the on screen instructions

Step 4
