PROCEDURES FOR TAXIING
Procedures for taxiing should include at least the following:
(a) application of the sterile flight crew compartment procedures;
(b) use of standard radio-telephony (RTF) phraseology;
(c) use of lights;
(d) measures to enhance the situational awareness of the minimum required flight crew
members. The following list of typical items should be adapted by the operator to take into
account its operational environment:
(1) each flight crew member should have the necessary aerodrome layout charts
available;
(2) the pilot taxiing the aircraft should announce in advance his/her intentions to the pilot
monitoring;
(3) all taxi clearances should be heard and should be understood by each flight crew
member;
(4) all taxi clearances should be cross-checked against the aerodrome chart and
aerodrome surface markings, signs, and lights;
(5) an aircraft taxiing on the manoeuvring area should stop and hold at all lighted stop
bars, and may proceed further when an explicit clearance to enter or cross the
runway has been issued by the aerodrome control tower, and when the stop bar
lights are switched off;
(6) if the pilot taxiing the aircraft is unsure of his/her position, he/she should stop the
aircraft and contact air traffic control;
(7) the pilot monitoring should monitor the taxi progress and adherence to the
clearances, and should assist the pilot taxiing;
(8) any action which may disturb the flight crew from the taxi activity should be avoided
or done with the parking brake set (e.g. announcements by public address);
(e) subparagraphs (d)(2) and (d)(7) are not applicable to single-pilot operations.

(2) is trained to use the radio telephone;
(3) has received instruction in respect of aerodrome layout, routes, signs, marking,
lights, air traffic control (ATC) signals and instructions, phraseology and procedures;
(4) is able to conform to the operational standards required for safe aeroplane
movement at the aerodrome.
