Step 1

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

Step 2

: Request taxi with the active ATC, or if there is no active ATC, announce taxi on the Unicom frequency – listen out whilst you’re on the move for other traffic

Step 3

: Release the Park Brake and increase power to start the taxi

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 4

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

Step 5
