We explain the importance of letter signs and light indicators of taxi ways.
If we can learn how to taxi there, we can do it anywhere else.
The diagrams are free and generally available online.
There are a few tricks that will allow you to taxi a plane without the airport diagrams.
Starting from runway 25, we’ll be on a 250-degree course right away.
The runaways are marked with white digits on a red background.
To do this, bring up the radio menu (Scroll Lock) and pick the frequency of Ground.
Don’t confuse those with Ground Services.
In our example, the course of the taxiway is as follows:
N7 N N4 L L1.
you might write down this information or leave the dialog log on.
On one side you’re free to see number 25 - that’s where we should be headed.
Our position is in the area of the yellow rectangle shown in the picture.
The entrance to the yellow taxi is nearby.
We follow the yellow line until the first signs, which are the yellow rectangles on the airport field.
Do not exceed 20-25 knots.
If you’ve added too much power, reduce it as much as possible and drive.
Warning - sometimes you’ll be too close to the terminal to turn the plane around and start taxiing.
Press the Left Shift + P keys to activate the Pushback services.
From the first signs it looks like we are on the N8 road.
According to the instructions, we must enter the N7 road.
Thus, turn left at the crossroads.
The taxi lane can be also easily recognized from inside of the pilot’s cabin.
It’s also worth paying attention to the green backlight.
Pay attention to the blue lights.
So we’re going straight ahead.
There’s a sign that indicates a turn to the N4 taxi lane.
We’re moving towards the lane on the right, so we’re turning right.
After the N4, we should take the L taxi lane.
The nearest taxi lanes are L5 and L4.
We’re heading for L1, so just a little bit more.
Turn right from L to L1 taxi lane according to the instructions received on the radio.
The white and red sign 25 shows the entrance to the runway from the L1 taxi lane.
We tune the radio to the tower frequency to ask for a clearance to take off.
Configure the plane for takeoff - set trim and extend the flaps.
Enter the runway, as long as it’s free.
Sometimes another player’s plane might be there.
When you get close enough, his machine will disappear.
Align the plane according to the runway axis.
Take off according to the instructions in the Flying School chapter.
