It also keeps planes organized on the runway, but what is it exactly? Aviation taxiing is when an airplane or other aircraft with wheels rolls off, on, or along the runway at a slow, consistent speed. It’s simply when the plane moves around the runway for other reasons. Learn more from the best flight school in Arizona here.

But more than that, it opens a whole new world of usefulness for you and your aircraft, and the ATC services provided on an IFR clearance are significantly better than the “workload permitting” VFR advisories.
