Wiktionary

  1. taxiingnoun

    The movement of aircraft on the ground in readiness for takeoff or after landing

Wikipedia

  1. Taxiing

    Taxiing (rarely spelled taxying) is the movement of an aircraft on the ground, under its own power, in contrast to towing or pushback where the aircraft is moved by a tug. The aircraft usually moves on wheels, but the term also includes aircraft with skis or floats (for water-based travel). An airplane uses taxiways to taxi from one place on an airport to another; for example, when moving from a hangar to the runway. The term "taxiing" is not used for the accelerating run along a runway prior to takeoff, or the decelerating run immediately after landing, which are called the takeoff roll and landing rollout, respectively.

  1. taxiing

    Taxiing refers to the movement of an aircraft on the ground, typically before taking off or after landing. It involves the controlled maneuvering of the aircraft using its wheels while it is not airborne. During taxiing, the pilot or ground crew guides the aircraft using its steering system, including the nose wheel or tail wheel, to navigate on taxiways, aprons, and other designated areas at airports or airfields. The purpose of taxiing is to position the aircraft to and from the runway, gates, hangars, or other designated areas safely and efficiently.
