ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Airport/seaplane base procedures, including: a. Appropriate flight deck activities prior to taxi or sailing, including route planning, and coordinating with crew, if applicable

Bottom line

Thorough planning for taxi operations is essential for a safe operation. Flightcrews should plan for the airport surface movement portion of the flight just as they plan for the other phases of flight. Planning for taxi operations should be an integral part of the flightcrew’s flight planning process and contains two main parts: review items and briefing items.
