TAXI SPEED
No limt in figueres by law but the PIC has to choose a safe
taxi speed where the aircraft can be safe stopped at all times.
High speed taxiways are designed usualy for appx. 60 kts.
The "30 kts" or 20, 15,10 and whatever are number from the
operator.He instructs the crews to taxi the AC not faster
then that speed. If the pilot taxi`s faster then he violates the
company rules and set standart. The AOC is issued on the base
of the FOM and if any numbers are mentoined there then the
pilots better keep that speed because if they are faster then
there is a point to "hang" them and nail them down on this
exeedence. The topic is complexer as I am able to describe here
short before my departure. If You have more questions I come
back again.
By the way I know the Captain "CC" well from my days in FR
and the way the LCC is handling the crews and what they tell
them "off" the records.
