TAXI
The maximum recommended wind speeds for airplane towing,
pivoting, turning and taxi are:
- Dry Runways .............................................................. 50 kt
- Wet Runways ............................................................. 45 kt
- Snow Covered Runways ............................................ 30 kt
- Ice Covered Runways ................................................ 10 kt
Power backs are not allowed. Use minimum thrust to avoid blowing
snow or slush on personnel or airplanes nearby.
During taxi, “cold set” (the condition where the tire retains the flat
shape it had while parked) may induce vibration in the airplane.
Vibration should disappear as the tires recover their elasticity during
taxi. Do not initiate your takeoff run before the cold set disappears.
Maintain a greater than normal distance behind other airplanes while
taxiing in snow-covered runways, to avoid contamination by snow
blown by jet blasts.
Do not apply reverse thrust during taxi, unless it is strictly necessary.
Flaps ............................................................................. AS REQUIRED
When taxiing through slush or standing water, flaps should be
retracted to avoid snow and slush contamination from the main
gear wheels.
CAUTION:
• IF FLAPS WERE LEFT UP DURING TAXI, COMPLETE
AFTER START CHECKLIST BEFORE TAKEOFF.
• TAXI AT REDUCED SPEED IN ICE-COVERED
RUNWAYS TO AVOID SKIDDING THE AIRPLANE.
