TAXIING
Taxi operations during high winds require the conventional
use of the flight controls. With a head wind or quartering
head wind, place the control stick full aft and into the wind.
With a tail wind or quartering tail wind, use the opposite
procedures. The use of the wheel brakes in conjunction with
the rudder will assist the pilot in maintaining directional
control.
