Taxiing This tutorial covers moving the aircraft around on the ground, from the parking position to the run-up area. For more information on taxiing, see Section 2-9 of the FAA Airplane Flying Handbook available at http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/aircraft/airplane_handbook/.

You may turn it on now for more realism. /fdm/jsbsim/settings/damage 0 I've already started the engine. Press Shift-B to release the parking brake. Throttle up to about 20% to move forward slightly, then hold b to check that the normal brakes work. The parking brake is still on. Release it by pressing Shift-B. /controls/gear/brake-parking 1 Throttle up to about 20% to move forward slightly. /controls/gear/brake-parking 0 /controls/engines/current-engine/throttle 0.15 Apply the brakes by pressing b. /controls/gear/brake-parking 0 /controls/gear/brake-left 0 /controls/gear/brake-left 0 /controls/gear/brake-parking 0 /controls/gear/brake-left 1 /controls/gear/brake-left 1 Keep applying the brakes. You can steer the aircraft on the ground by either using 0/Enter on the numeric keypad, or using the mouse in yoke mode (+) with the left mouse button held down. If you need to slow down, just press b to apply the brakes. 10 Keep the brakes on until I tell you to start taxiing. /controls/gear/brake-left 0 /controls/gear/brake-left 0 Release the brakes and taxi forwards. You may need to apply a little throttle to get going. 5 You're driving curves. To meet the taxiway you have to taxi straight! /sim/tutorials/targets/taxi1/direction-deg -100 /sim/tutorials/targets/taxi1/direction-deg 100 Apply a little throttle to get going, but then reduce it once you're moving. /velocities/groundspeed-kt 1.0 /sim/tutorials/targets/taxi1/distance-m 30.0 /sim/tutorials/targets/taxi1/distance-m -30.0 Turn left and continue along the centreline. 5 You're driving curves. To meet the taxiway you have to taxi straight! /sim/tutorials/targets/taxi2/direction-deg -100 /sim/tutorials/targets/taxi2/direction-deg 100 Apply a little throttle to get going, but then reduce it once you're moving. /velocities/groundspeed-kt 1.0 /sim/tutorials/targets/taxi1/distance-m 30.0 /sim/tutorials/targets/taxi1/distance-m -30.0 Continue along Charlie and cross the inactive runway. You're going too fast. Reduce your throttle slightly and apply your brakes. /velocities/groundspeed-kt 15.0 /sim/tutorials/targets/taxi2/distance-m 50.0 Keep going along the taxiway. You're going too fast. Reduce your throttle slightly and apply your brakes. /velocities/groundspeed-kt 15.0 /sim/tutorials/targets/taxi3/distance-m 50.0 Set the throttle to idle and apply the parking brake 0.0 -19.7 0.0 -0.2 0.2 0.4 85.0 We now have to execute the run-up checks and therefore you need to stop. Set the parking brake! /controls/gear/brake-parking 1 Set the throttle to idle! /controls/engines/current-engine/throttle 0.05 /controls/gear/brake-parking 1 /controls/engines/current-engine/throttle 0.05 /velocities/groundspeed-kt 1 We've reached the run-up area. Well done.
