TAXI OUT

Question 1

Taxi Speeds

Answer 1

Straight line:
a) Dry surface: 30 kt; or
b) Wet or contaminated surface: adjust as appropriate for current conditions;
Note:
minimize brake wear - go to 20 kts then press
Thrust use - use idle and max 40% N1 if ever needed

Question 2

Turns taxi speeds

Answer 2

a) dry surface: 10 kt; or
b) wet or contaminated surface: 5

Question 3

visual when taxing out for:

Answer 3

FOD
Personnel
Equipment
Airplanes and vehicles
Enegines of planes ahead

Question 4

Nosewheel steering to remember

Answer 4

The maximum steering angle of rudder pedal is +/- 7°
speeds above 10 kt, as it’s very responsive.
Let the airplane move a little forward before starting a turn and avoid stopping the airplane in a turn as excessive thrust
centre the nosewheel
make turns with the largest feasible turn radius possible
Minimize using thrust from outboard engine in 180° turn, particularly if outboard engine overhangs dusty areas next to the taxiway.
180-Degree Turn
ground speed around 5 kt.

Question 5

Antiskid protection

Answer 5

is not provided below 10 kt, so apply
brakes accordingly.
