13) When it is possible, complete the taxi in a straight-line roll for a minimum of 10 feet. When you use the brakes during a turn, they will cause the main and nose landing gear tires to wear. 12) Do not use the brakes to help during a turn.

11) Do not let the airplane stop during a turn. 10) When a left or right engine is used to help make a turn, use only the minimum power possible. 9) Monitor the wingtips and the horizontal stabilizer carefully for clearance with buildings, equipment, and other airplanes. 8) Make sure you know the taxi turning radius. 7) Do not try to turn the airplane until it has started to move. Make all turns at a slow taxi speed to prevent tire skids. 6) Before making a turn, decrease the speed of the airplane to a speed of approximately 8 to 12 knots. Beware of changing GS numbers due to tailwinds during taxi. Speeds more than 30 knots added to long taxi distances would cause heat to collect in the tires. 5) The taxi speed must not be more than approximately 30 knots. 4) When the APU in the taxi airplane or the parked airplane is on you must have a minimum clearance of 50 feet between the APU exhaust port and the adjacent airplane's wingtip (fuel vent). Opensky recommended setting is Flaps 10, or Flaps 20, weight dependent. 2) Make sure you have the necessary clearance when you go near a parked airplane or other structures.
