🟡 CAUTION: Taxi with canopies full open or full closed; with the canopies open, maintain taxi speeds below 60 knots to prevent damage to the canopy operating mechanism.

🟡 CAUTION: Adequate distance between aircraft must be maintained during formation taxi. An open canopy may be damaged by engine exhaust blast.

🟡 CAUTION: While taxiing during high gross weight conditions, the turning radius should be increased to relieve excessive side loads on the main landing gear struts, wheels, and tires.
