will cause the brake pads to glaze and the brake caliper to chatter with
each brake application.
Be sure to maintain hand control of the flight stick while taxiing. This will
prevent the elevator from jolting up and down when taxiing over bumps or
dips. Ensure the compass heading is swinging and in the proper
direction. When in taxi turns, observe the turn coordinator. The display
should indicate the direction of the turn and the ball should be free to
move in the race.

The brakes may not hold the aircraft during high power settings.
Therefore, do not taxi up close to the restricted runway hold line
