Taxiing properly

Well while texing u can switch the atc frequancys and ask for take off, gate, or praking then nit will show to turn on the taxuway light wich shows u where to taxi and how using the taxi ways experianced pilot doing it without it like me any quastions?

Allow me to give you a guide to taxiing in plain English.

1. As you are parked at the gate, the first thing you must do is radio ATC, and request your clearance to taxi. They will tell you something to the effect of "AB448, taxi to and hold short runway 36 via taxiway A, AB C." After you readback the taxi instructions, and here is where I forget, because I do not for the life of me, remember what this is called, but it's like visual taxi, or taxi assist or something to that effect. Anyway, it will put out pink lines for you to follow to the runway. All you need to do is push back, hit CTRL+S to see the top down view, and intercept these pink lines.

Tiger, if I may, you claim to be an experienced pilot, well that's great and all, but by God you seem like you're 12 when you use your "txt" typing. Plain and simple english is far easier to read, and doesn't put the image of "I'm an idiot that can't type to save my life".

Taxiing - for what it's worth. Talking about jets.

FEM once mentioned he doesn't like landing the Lear. I agree with that.
But: If you want to practice taxiing, use the Learjet - it's the easiest.

"You clearly forgot to lower the undercarriage when you needed full power to taxi to the gates."

😂 😂

one taxiing tip, take it slowly!! Keep that bird of yours nice and slow and it will e far easier to taxi.

Dont forget, that once you have requested your taxi for take off options, you can turn on the progressive taxi which will actually show you where to go. (this option is within ATC)

i was wondering is there a speed i shuld taxi at for commercial jets? 😕

Well, as a general regulation you should keep it under 25kts ground-speed. You can read the ground speed off of either the default GPS, or the nav displays on most payware aircraft. Plenty of airlines and manufacturers have lower speed reccomendations (i.e. below 20kts on straight stretches, and around 10-12 kts in turns). Just make sure you're reading groundspeed and not indicated speed, since it would show a different value depending on the wind!

Also, keep in mind when taxiing a large airliner it may take some time for the engines to get the plane rolling. I read a tip somewhere that said you should try and keep the 747's engines under 40% and let the speed get up gradually. It provides far more control!

is there away to get a push off when departing from the gates?

Press "Shift+P" for pushback and again to stop it. It takes a few seconds to start.
1 or 2 will turn the aircraft to the right or left.
