In the context provided, progressive taxi refers to a feature where ATC provides visual guidance with lighted arrows on the ground to help pilots navigate to the runway. This feature is particularly useful in virtual reality (VR), for student pilots, and for pilots who are unfamiliar with the airport layout.
Key details:
- Visual Guidance: Instead of traditional progressive taxi instructions, pilots can request a lighted, arrowed path to guide them along the taxiways.
- Automatic in Student Pilot Mode: The arrows appear automatically when in student pilot mode, offering an easy way to navigate without needing to refer to charts.
- Requesting the Feature: Pilots not in student mode can request this feature, and the lighted path will appear, aiding in taxiing to the runway.
This feature, (only available in MSFS), enhances the ATC experience by providing a clear, visual taxi path, even though it doesn't offer traditional progressive taxi instructions.
