Answer is all the above emergency response vehicles responding to an emergency taxiing aircraft aircraft being towed
That is the correct spelling of the word "taxiing" as used for aircraft.
Vehicles that may be operated in the path of taxiing aircraft typically include service vehicles, maintenance trucks, and ground support equipment, which are essential for airport operations. These vehicles must follow strict protocols and obtain clearance from air traffic control to ensure safety. Additionally, personnel on foot, such as airport staff or emergency responders, may also be present, but they must adhere to safety regulations to avoid interfering with aircraft movements. It's crucial that all ground operations maintain clear communication with the control tower to prevent accidents.
At a controlled airport any vehicle (another plane, car, fuel truck, snow plow, mower, or even a unicycle) may be operated in the path of a taxing aircraft, but they must have a clearance to do so from ground control. At an uncontrolled airport the aircraft should have the right of way but so does a pedestrian at a cross walk, so use your head.
Check or test the brakes
The flaps, when extended, basically make the wing bigger which generates more lift. during takeoff, it helps to have as much lift as possible to aid the aircraft in it's ascent into the air. during taxiing, there is no real benefit to having the flaps out. the reason the flaps are extended during taxiing is to save time. if the flaps are extended while the plane is taxiing, it doesent have to do it later before it takes off.
exit through the shortest route.
No. The wheels on an aircraft's landing gear turn freely, and the aircraft is propelled by its propellers or turbines when taxiing.
If I'm correct, its 350+ ft. behind the aircraft because of the hot exhausts that come out of the turbine engine/engines.
