OM-A
policy sets a “Maximum taxi speed of 30 knots as specified in the
Flight Crew Training [T
echnique] Manual”. Additionally, prior to aircraft taxi, the OM-A ─
General
Taxi Guidance
stated that:
“Prior to commencing taxi pilots should verbally agree between themselves on the
taxi route, turn
s … etc. At all times, both pilots should have the taxi charts open
and visible…”
…
“Crew shall ensure that no two heads are down at the same time, i.e. pilot flying
shall monitor the taxi line and outside clearance at all times and if becomes
necessary to shift his focus inside the aircraft, he should hand over control to the
other pilot.
Before commencement of the take-off roll, the
OM-A

Line-up and Positive Runway
Identification

For prevention of runway incursions, the
OM-A
─
Runway Incursions Policy
stated to the
flight crew to perform
