Crash guide to taxi-ing an aircraft
Hi Peeps,
I am having real trouble getting my 747 from the gate to the taxiway - I always seam to have too much power.
Can anyone give me a rough guide on the speed I should be doing on the taxiway and how I should be doing it?

Keep around 20 knots on taxiways, around 10 for turns. Depending on which aircraft there are different ways to do it. Using the throttles is the most common way though. Some aircraft have a "taxi" panel, where you can "cheat" and put in a taxi speed. Then it remains constant. I use throttles always.
Thanks Bindolaf
I will have a go at that now.

The PMDG 747 operational guide was pretty helpful at taxing. The speed tips are right on, but also don't use more than 40.0% thrust. Since the 4 engines take a while to catch up, you'll go FLYING down the taxiway when they do! I've been putting that into practice and it REALLY seems to help!
Hmmm, maybe "crash" in the subject isn't quite what you meant. 😉
