### Taxi Limitations | ||
|
||
It is generally recommended that pilots only taxi on taxiways large enough to support the aircraft. Because of how wide the wingspan of the A380 is, we need large taxiways available to use. Appropriate taxiways are commonly found at large, international airports, such as EGLL, EDDM, KJFK, CYYV, etc. | ||

There are several scenarios where taxiing can be limited. If, for example, the pilot opts for a 2-engine taxi, the engines must be symmetrical. Symmetrical engines are engines on either wing symmetrical to another engine on the opposite wing. For example, if we were to 2-engine taxi to the runway, we would use either `ENG 2+3` OR `ENG 1+4.` In situations where tight turns are involved, it's recommended to use `ENG 1+4.` <p style="color:yellow; font-size:18px;">TODO: insert image showing engine symmetry</p> | ||

For taxi on outer engines only: | ||
|
||
`ENGINE 1 AND 4 ..................................................... START`<br/> | ||
`AFTER START SOP .................................................. PERFORM`<br/> | ||
|
||
For taxi on inner engines only: | ||
|
||
`ENGINE 2 AND 3 ..................................................... START`<br/> | ||
`AFTER START SOP .................................................. PERFORM`<br/> | ||
|
||
In such a case that 2 engine taxi is performed, delay the `AFTER START CL` until all 4 engines are running. | ||
|
||
### During Taxi | ||

While underway to the runway, perform the following as part of the taxi flow: | ||

I would add that usually airports have special taxi charts for the A380 to show either allowed or forbidding taxi ways.
Example image can be done using either EDDM or EDDF
