GROUND OPERATIONS
17.
The aircraft shall be taxied with the following considerations:
a.
taxi at the lowest possible speed commensurate with safety, especially when
taxiing with a strong crosswind or a tailwind;
b.
when taxiing in congested areas, near aircraft or other obstructions, manoeuvre
slowly, and be vigilant for wing tip and tail clearances;
CAUTION
The aircraft has an extended wing span. If in doubt
about obstacle clearance while manoeuvring, have
ground crew verify clearances, or shut down and
manoeuvre by hand.
c.
avoid taxiing with flaps down, especially in high winds;
d.
avoid excessive use of brake during taxiing. Use power settings that do not
require continuous use of brake to control speed. Note that when taxiing in very
strong crosswinds, some brake may be required to maintain directional control.
e.
when taxing over soft / rough surfaces, hold the control yoke fully aft to avoid
damage to the nose gear and to maximize ground clearance of the propeller; and
f.
position the flight controls appropriate to the wind speed and direction as shown
below:
