For Info...... taxi speed is a monitored parameter in the FLIDRAS system at EZY. Exceed 30 knots for more than 5 seconds and it flags. Taxiing at 25-30 knots is not inherently dangerous provided common sense and airmanship are applied, in fact there are places where taxing at those speeds is desirable (25L at BCN, 01L/19R at AMS). Taxiing is a critical stage of "flight" and should be carried out accordingly to the prevalent conditions/traffic situation.

EZY use a "PEDS" review during taxi (Performance, Emergency turn, Departure SID i.e. SFD8M not a full review and finally STOP altitude/Level). This is performed by the PF (FO can taxi the Bus) and takes approximately 10 seconds requiring no "heads down".
