So I am a person who hates to read manuals, etc. I just like to find how things work by using them. I have another questions about FS2004. When taxiing on the ground is there a speed limit? I mean I always taxi with 15kias, is there any minimum distance between aircrafts on the taxiway? And also always when I see a line of planes landing at CYYZ (about 5-6) I wonder what is the "landing line" speed? Is there something like that, cause they all seem to be flying with the same speed.

Few questions about rules when flying and taxing.

I believe the maximum taxi speed when on crounded taxiways is 15kts. However when it's clear it can be up to 30kts.
When you say "landing line" speed, do you mean speed restrictions? If so, the approach speed shouldn't be above 180kts, as always.

normally you taxi between 15-20kias, up to 30 if theres not much traffic
for your approach/landing speed, normally you want to be as slow as possible without stalling.
for a 767 I approach at 170kias, then land at 147kias (vrf+5)Christian Vlček Sullivan | Through The Fence Photography

I don't know if there is a limit, but pilot's can request a high speed taxi. I'm sure the airline's, pilots, and ATC would draw the line at about 60 kts though. The landing gear isn't meant to take speeds like that. All plane manuals say it. You're usually not supposed to turn over 10 kts. This could damage the nosewheel.

The landing gear can't take it? How do they cope at 160kts down the runway then?
