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 minimum power to maintain taxi
speed.
If the 1000 RPM taxi power limit and proper braking
procedures are not observed, the brake system may overheat
and result in brake damage or brake fire.
