The rudder pedals are the primary directional controls
while taxiing. Steering with the pedals may be
accomplished through the forces of airflow or propeller
slipstream acting on the rudder surface, or through a
mechanical linkage to the steerable tailwheel. Initially,
the pilot should taxi with the heels of the feet resting on
the cockpit floor and the balls of the feet on the bottom
of the rudder pedals. The feet should be slid up onto the
brake pedals only when it is necessary to depress the
brakes. This permits the simultaneous application of
rudder and brake whenever needed. Some models of
tailwheel airplanes are equipped with heel brakes rather
than toe brakes. In either configuration the brakes are
used primarily to stop the airplane at a desired point, to
slow the airplane, or as an aid in making a sharp
controlled turn. Whenever used, they must be applied
smoothly, evenly, and cautiously at all times.
TAXIING
When beginning to taxi, the brakes should be tested
immediately for proper operation. This is done by first
applying power to start the airplane moving slowly
forward, then retarding the throttle and simultaneously
applying pressure smoothly to both brakes. If braking
action is unsatisfactory, the engine should be shut down
immediately.
To turn the airplane on the ground, the pilot should
apply rudder in the desired direction of turn and use
whatever power or brake that is necessary to control
the taxi speed. The rudder should be held in the
direction of the turn until just short of the point where
the turn is to be stopped, then the rudder pressure
released or slight opposite pressure applied as needed.
While taxiing, the pilot will have to anticipate the
movements of the airplane and adjust rudder pressure
accordingly. Since the airplane will continue to turn
slightly even as the rudder pressure is being released,
the stopping of the turn must be anticipated and the
rudder pedals neutralized before the desired heading is
reached. In some cases, it may be necessary to apply
opposite rudder to stop the turn, depending on the taxi
speed.
The presence of moderate to strong headwinds and/or a
strong propeller slipstream makes the use of the
elevator necessary to maintain control of the pitch
attitude while taxiing. This becomes apparent when
considering the lifting action that may be created on
the horizontal tail surfaces by either of those two
factors. The elevator control should be held in the aft
position (stick or yoke back) to hold the tail down.
When taxiing in a quartering headwind, the wing on
the upwind side will usually tend to be lifted by the
wind unless the aileron control is held in that direction
(upwind aileron UP). Moving the aileron into the UP
position reduces the effect of wind striking that wing,
thus reducing the lifting action. This control movement
will also cause the opposite aileron to be placed in the
DOWN position, thus creating drag and possibly some
lift on the downwind wing, further reducing the
tendency of the upwind wing to rise.
When taxiing with a quartering tailwind, the elevator
should be held in the full DOWN position (stick or
yoke full forward), and the upwind aileron down. Since
the wind is striking the airplane from behind, these
control positions reduce the tendency of the wind to get
under the tail and the wing possibly causing the
airplane to nose over. The application of these
crosswind taxi corrections also helps to minimize the
weathervaning tendency and ultimately results in
increased controllability.

An airplane with a tailwheel has a tendency to
weathervane or turn into the wind while it is being
taxied. The tendency of the airplane to weathervane is
greatest while taxiing directly crosswind;
consequently, directional control is somewhat difficult.
Without brakes, it is almost impossible to keep the
airplane from turning into any wind of considerable
velocity since the airplane’s rudder control capability
may be inadequate to counteract the crosswind. In
taxiing downwind, the tendency to weathervane is
increased, due to the tailwind decreasing the
effectiveness of the flight controls. This requires a
more positive use of the rudder and the brakes,
particularly if the wind velocity is above that of a light
breeze.
Unless the field is soft, or very rough, it is best when
taxiing downwind to hold the elevator control in the
forward position. Even on soft fields, the elevator
should be raised only as much as is absolutely
