When to announce taxi on Unicom?

When do you announce that you are taxing on Unicom, me and my virtual airline do it at different times.

@Bradders777X I believe you have a number of additional questions too.

You announce taxi when you begin taxiing after pushback :)

1 scenario: when pushback needed, first ensure the pushback is safe, pushback and after it announce taxi

---

2 scenario: with a GA aircraft, due to the fact they cant pushback, ask directly taxi

---

3 scenario: Taxi-out gates, such as EGLC, announce taxi without pushback

Taxi-out gates; Its not a difficult concept

You don’t have to, and in some cases, you are not allowed to, push back out of your parking spot. Taxi-out gates are a form of aircraft parking that allows an aircraft to maneuver under its own power without the assistance of a towing vehicle. While commonplace in many airports, all too often this type of parking is novel and confusing to Infinite Flight pilots. One of my greatest pet peeves as IFATC is when I specifically instruct pilots how to use them, with a “continue straight ahead” command…
