4.5.1.3 Taxiing
Taxiing without assistance can be done with the steerable nose wheel
(Option) and one wingtip on the ground. Flapsetting +10°. Operate the
airbrake handle (connected to wheel brake) with the left hand and the
throttle with the right hand. Place trim fully nosedown to get pressure on
the nose wheel.
You can reduce the radius of turn by operating the wheel brake and
applying more throttle so the rudder will help to turn the aircraft.
Caution: For taxiing always use engine speed so that the engine runs
smoothly. This prevents vibration damage at the engine mount. On
concrete it may be necessary to apply a little wheel brake to reduce taxi
speed.
