How to fly: Taxi an Airplane

[@Windtee]

Great lesson, a solid building-block to the next block of learning.

[@DillonG1435]

This video really helped me a lot. I'm going on my 3rd flight for my private and have been having issues getting use to the pedals. Just the way you explained the whole process of taxiing was really great and understandable.

[@angleofattack]

Dillon Garcia So glad that it was helpful for you. Believe it or not it’s one of the hardest things for students to understand.

[@짱튜브-s6q]

Me too I have been struggling of taxiing as well haha tmr will be my 2nd flight training

[@wmdjohnson]

Did you finish?

[@DillonG1435]

@@wmdjohnson I did! I have all my ratings minus ATP atm

[@flyingfred152]

At last I'm getting a grip of the use of pedals. Many thanks for being so clear and precise in your video

[@angleofattack]

Glad it helped. What was the most helpful tip?

[@jamiehawley9508]

This was super helpful. I was taught to not use the brakes during turns, but no one told me I have to use a little bit and I was wondering why the rudder alone could not keep me on centerline. Thanks so much for explaining it simply!

[@MrMontanaNights]

Great tips Chris. Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.

[@angleofattack]

That's right!

[@mr2646]

Enjoy a lot your teaching... Loud and clear. Greetings from France.

[@angleofattack]

Merci! Glad you're enjoying it.

When taxing do you place your entire feets on the pedals (I.e. the ball of your feet at the brakes) or put your feets on the floor (I.e. the ball of your feet at the rudders)?

[@andybarboza9134]

Took me 3 lessons to figure it out, keeping the nose (bottom of the rudder pedal input) in a holding position helps control and keep it on the center line; if you have to make a quick turn use the entire bottom and top (foot covering the whole pedal) but try not to lose too much momentum or speed. Wish I would’ve seen this video.

[@JanetSingh-w1u]

I wish u were my instructor, your very kind and detailed oriented.

[@jasongriffin7087]

Taxi is a challenge for me

[@mr.martintorres5804]

Are there taxi "speed limits" at airports? What is a good taxi speed in a 172?

[@rileykieler]

in a light airplane like a 172 or archer I would keep it between 10-15 knots ground speed

[@angleofattack]

No speed limit. But you shouldn't move faster than you can stop. Make sure to subscribe!

[@Food.Dog.Car.]

My discovery flight yesterday was great in the sky regardless of the crazy turbulence and 20 knot crosswind. It was nerve racking but i enjoyed it. The taxi was just blowing my mind, its real easy to panic and over correct back the other way. Then pressing the brakes evenly is tough. Its extreme multitasking at its finest.

[@doubleddd327]

Great video, Chris! Thanks!

[@angleofattack]

MrKaukasian thanks!

[@AeroCherokee]

Great video! I just had my first lesson in a 150 and this helped reinforce the learning. Keep it up!

[@victorlaw4]

May I know how to align the centerline during taxiing (and potentially on final) on the left side seat? any visual reference or imaginary line to follow? Some people say right foot, but some say between the legs? Much appreciated!

[@josephwhite4716]

Can you explain the etiquette of multiple planes taxiing up and holding short of the runway side by side to each other. I’ve noticed this when flying out of class D airports, feels wrong to not line up behind each other.

[@ahmedm4347]

so does the right pedal take me to the right on the ground while taxiing and same on the left?

[@abhinavraj932]

How do you judge the taxy speed?

[@aceboogie1931]

Love it wish I still stayed in AK I would've def got my ppl wit u... now I have to find some where else

[@andersonfortune607]

Thanks first time I watch you

[@taradoyle6121]

Nice, thanks 👍

[@ryanjohannes1789]

I really enjoy the Aviator Training videos, Chris! I watch them on repeat and analyze the techniques with a close eye. I do a lot of self-talk through the various legs of the pattern to help me learn the proper communication and best practices. Thanks from Wisconsin!

[@kennethhoward4904]

I practice on taxing on a gravel road

[@baraaraeedy4026]

Is it just me or anyone pissed that he sitting on the right

[@girlgoneflying4925]

Your explanation would be even better if you’ll stop saying “ok?” so many times. Ok? 😜
