TAXIING IN GENVIEW
Generic taxiways have been implemented in 1.
GenView to allow the pilot to more closely
follow the checklist sequence if used
(conducting run ups, for example). Though
the location of the runway and NAVaids are
always accurate, the layout and orientation
of taxi ways may not represent the exact
layout at that airfi eld.
When ELITE is fi rst loaded, the default 2.
position of the aircraft is on the end of the run
way. You can reposition the aircraft relative
to the taxiway in three ways:
Taxi the aircraft to the position you want a.
to start (least recommended, especially if
you are in a hurry)
Go to the b. MAP Page. Click on the aircraft
symbol and hold the mouse button. Press
the ALT key and drop the aircraft at the
runway end and it will reposition to the
taxiway parallel to the active runway.
Go to the c. MAP Page. Click on the aircraft
symbol and hold the mouse button. Press
the SHIFT key and drop the aircraft
at the runway end and it will reposition
perpendicular to the active runway.
The length of the runway determines the 3.
width of the taxiways (longer runways equal
wider taxi ways). Wide taxiways have blue
edge lights spaced at every 50m/164ft.
Smaller taxiways have green centerline
lights spaced at 50m/164ft. Runways with a
width of 16m/52ft or less have no taxi way
lights.
