MB-339 Basic Course (DCS)

Please read the No Exercise Without Permission section in the theory-based course before you start rolling on the ground. The pilot knows the place or he looks at the map (kneeboard, big map F10 or printed airfield charts) and orients himself there. As a further help, you can use the article Kutaisi taxiway

• Before we start taxiing, we first turn on the anti-skid system, ANTI-SKID NORM LSC-M

• Activate the Nose Wheel control with LAlt + Q. The display in the upper right instrument panel will then show STEER, LAlt + Q NWS ON HOTAS

• Turn on the Taxi Light LDG / TAXI-LIGHT TAXI LSP

• Finally we Release the Parking Brake, PARK BRK RELEASE LSP

• To initiate the taxi, the pilot makes a slight boost (about 50% RPM) by slowly pushing the throttle forward.
• As soon as the aircraft moves significantly, a brake test is performed, BRK TEST PEDAL

So, in case of emergency, you can come to a standstill and in case of brake failure (incorrect assignment of the brake axle, or defect) by reducing the thrust. To do this, press the pedals or the W key.

Once the aircraft reaches the Hold, STOP.
