  stripes are present, the pilot should visually place the centerline stripe so it is under the center of the airplane fuselage. ⦁ When taxiing, the pilot should slow down before attempting a turn. Sharp high-speed turns place undesirable side loads ... occur when turning from a downwind heading toward an upwind heading. In moderate to high-wind conditions, the airplane may weathervane increasing the swerving tendency. Steering is accomplished with rudder pedals and brakes. To turn the airplane on the ground…

  Chapter 14: Transition to Tailwheel Airplanes › Taxiing

  Angle of Attack A second strong contrast to nose-wheel airplanes, tailwheel aircraft make lift while on the ground anytime there is a relative headwind. The amount of lift obviously depends on the wind speed, but even at slow taxi ... landing rolls, and is again unexpected by nose-wheel pilots making the transition. Taxiing On most tailwheel-type airplanes, directional control while taxiing is facilitated by the use of a steerable tailwheel, which operates along with the rudder. The tailwheel…

  pilot visually controls the airplane’s attitude in reference outside to the natural horizon. Approximately 90 percent of the pilot’s attention should be devoted to outside visual references and scanning for airborne traffic. The process of visually evaluating pitch ... attitude is other than desired, the pilot should make precise, smooth, and accurate flight control corrections to return the airplane to the desired attitude. Continuous visual checks of the outside references and immediate corrections made by the pilot minimize…

  wheel, or a tailwheel if equipped with conventional gear. In order to taxi a full castoring nose-wheel equipped airplane, the use of differential brakes is required. This type of nose-wheel can require practice to keep the airplane ... centerline while minimizing brake application or damage to the tires. If the taxi speed is too slow, application of a brake can cause the aircraft to pivot to a stop, rather than adjust in direction. This results in excessive brake…
