4.3.2 Taxy at no more than a brisk walking pace, somewhat less if the
surface is rough. Steering is effected through the rudder pedals which
are linked directly to the nosewheel. The turning circle normally is
around 20 feet in diameter (at the aircraft centreline).
4.3.3 Microlight aircraft are easily blown over in winds over 25knots. It is
imperative that when taxiing in strong winds the correct control
placements are used. When the wind is from the forward quarters hold
the stick into wind and the elevator neutral. When the wind is from the
rear quarters the stick should be positioned away from the wind and
the elevator held down.
4.3.4 Taxy checks
When taxying check:
Brakes functioning
Compass moving when aircraft turned
Slip ball moving when aircraft turned
Engine temps warming, no limits exceeded
4.4 Pre take-off checks (vital actions)
Prior to take-off, it is recommended that the following pre takeoff check is
used. This check is a derivation of the mnemonic CHIFTWA as used in many
BMAA schools.
Position the aircraft into wind, brakes held on
Set recommended warm up RPM
C - Controls
Check controls for full and free movement (Note, a knee board
worn on the pilots right leg may give control restriction)
Check visually that the controls are moving in the correct sense
H - Harness and Hatches
Check harnesses and hatches are secure, no loose objects
I – Instruments and engine
Check flight instruments are set and serviceable
