Many high wing or nose-gear airplanes are more sensitive to winds during taxi. The pilot must use all the flight controls to keep the airplane under control in windy conditions.
Taxiing Into a Head Wind
Keep the elevators neutral when taxiing into a head wind.
When a head wind is striking the airplane from the right or left, the upwind wing tends to be lifted. You can use the ailerons to help spoil the lift generated by the upwind wing by keeping the aileron on that wing raised. To do this, turn the control yoke full right if the wind is from the right, or full left if the wind is from the left.
With a headwind - neutral and into
Taxiing with a Tail Wind
Position the elevators at the full nose down position with a tail wind. As the tail wind blows across the tail, this will help keep the tail from being raised by the wind.
Position the upwind elevator in the down position, to try and hold the upwind wing down. Do this by steering away from the tail wind will the ailerons.
With a tail wind - down and away.
For a nose wheel airplane, a strong quartering tailwind is the most hazardous condition for taxi. This is the position from which the wind could most easily blow the airplane over on the ground.
