	Taxiing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taxiing refers to an airplane moving under its own power on the ground, usually on wheels, but also includes aircraft with skis or floats (for water-based travel).
		An airplane uses taxiways to taxi from one place on an airport to another.
		A pilot controls the direction his or her airplane travels during taxiing with his or her feet.

	Taxiing - General
		Taxiing is the controlled movement of the airplane under its own power while on the ground.
		When taxiing at normal taxi speeds in a no wind condition, the aileron and elevator control surfaces have little or no effect on directional control of the airplane and therefore should not be considered steering devices.
		Initially, the pilot should taxi with the heels of the feet resting on the cockpit floor and the balls of the feet on the bottom of the rudder pedals (Fig.

	Taxiing Nosewheel Type Airplanes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Taxiing is somewhat simplified in an airplane equipped with a nosewheel.
		Although taxiing with a steerable nosewheel requires less special pilot technique than required with a tailwheel, the habitual observance of all safety precautions is necessary.
		To prevent this when taxiing with a strong quartering tailwind, the elevator should be held in the down position (elevator control forward) and the aileron on the upwind side should be held in the down position (aileron control in the direction opposite that from which the wind is blowing).

		The primary requirements for safe taxiing are positive control, the ability to recognize potential hazards in time to avoid them, and the ability to stop or turn where and when desired, without undue reliance on the brakes.
		The pilot of the Beech was taxiing the airplane for departure, when he observed the Piper airplane taxiing inbound on the taxiway, and stopped the Beech along the edge of the taxiway.
		While taxiing north, a gust of wind from the west, estimated to be between 30 and 40 knots, weathervaned the airplane to the left.

	Taxiing - the final challenge
		In yet another report, the crew taxied to the wrong runway only to be told by ground control that they were the 12th airplane to misread the signs that month.
		With the EMM crews taxied faster, caught and corrected errors faster and without assistance from ATC, their tracking improved, deviations decreased and situational awareness was better.
		The difficulty of the taxi task is compounded further by the complexity of the navigational environment.

	Taxiing - Tailwheel Type Airplanes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In taxiing downwind the tendency to weathervane is increased, due to the tailwind decreasing the effectiveness of the flight controls.
		On most tailwheel type airplanes, directional control while taxiing is facilitated by the use of a steerable tailwheel which operates along with the rudder.
		While taxiing, the steerable tailwheel should be used for making normal turns and the pilot's feet kept off the brake pedals to avoid unnecessary wear on the brakes.

		Thinking all was proceeding according to plan, I cleared my side (port side), seeing one aircrewman with chocks over his shoulder and a "remove before flight" flag flapping from one of the pins in his hand.
		She had recognized the stuck-pin signal from the plane captain and had released the parking brake (an H-3 trick for unsticking a stuck pin) and had also complied with my call for unlocking the aircraft tailwheel.
		The aircraft began to taxi about the chocked right mainmount, because of the inherent inertia in the head.

		If you phone for a taxi after 6pm, it will turn up with a few euros already on the clock; the meter starts ticking as soon as the taxi heads out to fetch you.
		And once your taxi crosses the area enclosed by the ring road, the peripherique, the cabbie presses a button on the meter which clicks it onto a higher rate.

		These include distractions, blocked radio transmissions, a mindset to taxi to a particular runway when another runway may be in use, and rushing.
		One noted problem is that sometimes the First Officer calls for the taxi clearance while the Captain is still off-frequency talking to the pushback crew on the interphone.
		Although the act of taxiing an aircraft to and from an active runway may seem a little routine, ensuring that it is done safely requires planning, coordination, and attention.

		When they receive a 'taxi to' clearance with no restrictions, in a way they own the airport." He added, however, "But they are ultimately responsible for their own safety.

		Steering while taxiing commercial airliners is done with a "tiller." On some airplanes the tiller is shaped like a pie wedge to suggest part of a steering wheel.
		Airplanes taxiing for takeoff, for instance, must wait for departing aircraft to take off, or for landing aircraft to arrive and clear the runway.
		Regarding whether we taxi in simulators, the answer is "yes." We can and do taxi in the simulator before we taxi in a real airplane.

	United pilots' slow taxiing causes delays at O'Hare (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		BY ROBERT C. United Airlines pilots created delays at O'Hare Airport on Tuesday by slowly taxiing between runways and gates, an apparent statement on contract talks with the carrier, officials said.
		He said United pilots have been engaging in the slow taxiing at various times over the past four to six weeks.
		Chicago aviation spokeswoman Monique Bond said air traffic was fairly routine Tuesday, although controllers said the lack of special landing procedures and the slow taxiing, were impacting operations.

		The price of taxiing, in fuel alone, can vary from $25.00 per minute for an Airbus A320, to $50.00 per minute for a B747.
		An engine out taxi – particularly at airports with long taxi distances – can save many thousands of dollars when aggregated across a fleet over a year – BUT the advantage is lost, of course, if the aircraft must stop and then spool up the active engine[s] to start rolling again.
		If a taxi delay is anticipated for some reason, advising the pilot of the situation might encourage a gate hold or taxi with one or in some cases 2 engines out taxi.

		When necessary for a wheeled helicopter to taxi on the surface, use the phraseology in para 3-7-2, TAXI AND GROUND MOVEMENT OPERATIONS.
		Helicopters with articulating rotors (usually designs with three or more main rotor blades) are subject to ``ground resonance'' and may, on rare occasions, suddenly lift off the ground to avoid severe damage or destruction.
		Avoid clearances which require small aircraft or helicopters to taxi in close proximity to taxiing or hover-taxi helicopters.

	NTSB Urges Runway Safety Steps / Watchdog group says taxiing planes should stop at every intersection
		Washington -- A federal safety watchdog agency, alarmed by high numbers of near-collisions between planes on U.S. runways, recommended yesterday that pilots stop at every runway intersection -- a move that could slow the pace of airport operations.
		A key NTSB recommendation would require pilots to stop every time they reach a runway intersection and radio an air traffic controller for permission to cross.
		Currently, pilots get clearance to taxi to their destinations on the airport surface and may cross any runways in between.
