Planning your taxi

Hey!

I’ve recently been trying to use airport diagrams more, but now that I realize, I never plan a taxi route on the ground. How do you guys plan your taxi route?

Thanks!

Right before pushback I use the outside cam and just look around to find the route to the runway lmao

Prior to setting my FPL, I take a look at the active runways, implement a procedure (most of the time), and pan around my aircraft for the most optimal route post pushback.

I normally take a screenshot of the ground chart and just draw a line on it to plan my taxi route to the runway or parking. This is all done on my tablet of course no printing out needed.

Happy Flying :)

Ah, I’ll try that sometime!

I just go with wherever seems good, but I think i can do better than that

I usually look at the map and find the fastest way to get to the rw

I go to FR24 and search a flight doing the same route and watch the playback of that flight to see what taxiways and what runway was used for departure

I do the same taxi route as the real flight which I’m replicating did.

I try to do most things from the cockpit, so I actually pull up airport diagrams online and plan a route there.
