PROCEDURES FOR TAXIING

Procedures for taxiing should include at least the following:

(a) application of the [sterile flight crew compartment](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/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](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/flight-crew-member) should have the necessary aerodrome layout charts available;

(2) the pilot taxiing the [aircraft](https://avioverse.aero/glossary/easa/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.
