Hi, 'First moves for the purpose of taking off' must imply that the NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT IS IN LINE WITH THE RUNWAY DIRECTION.
If you push the power levers forward whilst still on the taxiway you are not intending to take-off!
The other anomoly is that on some airstrips you can land and stop at the pumps, all within 30 seconds. So how does that equate with adding 5 minutes taxi time, before and after flight?
