FO spanking me for taxi speed

Featured Replies

..when I only taxi at 21 knots ground speed.It is totally acceptable to taxi at speeds below 30 knots, slowing down to 15 prior to making a turn.Is this hard coded into the program or can we change it somehow?Thanks,Dom

Hello Don,Yes, it's hardcoded (and airline/pilot specific). 30 knots is pretty fast though... don't you worry about your virtual tires getting a little hot if you have a long trip to the rwy? Hehehehe.In a future upgrade, I may code it so that the FO calls the taxi speed at a much lower speed if you're on a non-dry surface.Cheers,Bryan

Thanks Bryan,The speed of 30 knots is pretty standard out there in the real world of taxiing, LOLBestDom

30 is pretty fast. 15 is definitely fast for turns.

Westjet(Canada) policy regarding taxi speed is 25 kts maximum on straight taxiways and 10 knots in the turns.
