Ground Operations

Ground Operations covers everything that happens before takeoff and after landing, when the aircraft is moving on the ground and the mistakes are usually slow, expensive and avoidable. This section includes start-up and shutdown flows, taxi technique, runway and ramp procedures, ground crew interactions, basic ATC calls on the ground, and the habits that keep you predictable, safe and efficient in DCS airfields and carrier decks.
