Taxiing

When taxiing, directional control is accomplished with rudder deflection
and intermittent braking (toe taps) as necessary. Use only as much power
as is necessary to achieve forward movement. Deceleration or taxi speed
control using brakes but without a reduction in power will result in
increased brake temperature. Taxi over loose gravel at low engine speed to
avoid damage to the propeller tips.
Maximum continuous engine speed for taxiing is 1000 RPM on flat,
smooth, hard surfaces. Power settings slightly above 1000 RPM are
permissible to start motion, for turf, soft surfaces, and on inclines. Use
If the 1000 RPM taxi power limit and proper braking procedures are
not observed, the brake system may overheat and result in brake dam-
