"On behalf of Expert Village my name is Rodney Fielitz I'm a certified flight instructor in Cottonwood, AZ and I'm here to give you the basics of what it takes to become a pilot. The next phase of this manual is it tells you how to taxi in an airplane, it does not drive like a car even though it has a steering wheel we do not call it a steering wheel, it's called a yolk. All that steering on this airplane and every airplane is done by the rudders, this diagram shows you how to taxi and we talked a little bit about wind. Well wind during taxi it plays a big part in it because you have these big wings hanging out to the side and as the wind picks up and wants to play games with you, so as we teach we teach you how to maneuver the airplane, how to control the airplane, and how to taxi into strong winds, and how to taxi with tail winds, quartering tail winds and all this.
