2) Put the engines back to idle power when the airplane starts
to move.
(h) Make sure the airplane moves, forward in a straight line before
a turn is started.
(i) Turn the airplane with the tiller for the nose wheel steering,
or the rudder pedals.
NOTE:____ You will get approximately 65 degrees of nose wheel
steering when the tiller for the nose wheel steering is
turned to its maximum. You will get approximately 7
degrees of nose wheel steering through maximum movement
of the rudder pedals.
(j) Speak to the ground crew during a turn to make sure that the
airplane stays clear of all equipment, buildings, and
airplanes. Use the service interphone or the hand radios.
(k) When the taxi surface has taxi lines available, taxi the
airplane with the nose wheel on the line.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THE BRAKES CONTINUOUSLY TO KEEP THE NECESSARY
_______ TAXI SPEED. IF YOU USE THE BRAKES WITHOUT SUFFICIENT TIME FOR THEM TO COOL, YOU CAN CAUSE THE BRAKES TO BECOME TOO HOT. THIS CAN CAUSE BRAKE DAMAGE OR A DECREASE OF TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE BECAUSE A WHEEL-THERMAL-FUSE PLUG MELTED.
(l) Taxi the airplane slowly with the engines at idle. 1) Use the Inertial Reference System (IRS) in the ground speed (GS) mode to monitor the taxi speed.
2) If the airplane taxi speed is too fast (with the engines at idle), operate the brakes slowly and smoothly for a short time. This will decrease the taxi speed. a) If the taxi speed increases again, operate the brakes
as you did in the step before.
(m)
Always use the largest radius possible when you turn the airplane. This will decrease landing gear side loads, and the tire scrub will be decreased. 1) Make sure that the airplane continues to move while a turn
is made. Do not stop during a turn.
(n)
When it is possible, complete the taxi in a straight line roll for a minimum of 12 feet. This will remove the torsional stresses in the landing gear components, and in the tires.
(o)
Operate the brakes to stop the airplane.
(p)
Set the parking brake after the airplane has stopped.
(q)
Use the airline checklist to deactivate, and to shutdown the applicable airplane systems.
(r)
Tell the ground crew to install the wheel chocks, and to install the static electrical ground wire.
(s)
Release the parking brake after the wheel chocks are positioned (optional).
