TAXIING
When taxiing, it is important that speed and use of brakes be held to a minimum and that all controls be
utilized (see Taxiing Diagram, figure 4.2) to maintain directional control and balance.
Figure 4-2. Taxiing Diagram
NOTE
Strong quartering tail winds require caution. Avoid sudden bursts of the
throttle and sharp braking when the airplane is in this attitude. Use the
steerable nose wheel and rudder to maintain direction.
The carburetor heat control knob should be pushed full in during all ground operations unless heat is
absolutely necessary. When the knob is pulled out to the heat position, air entering the engine is not
filtered.
