How fast should a pilot taxi in congested areas according to T6 standards?

In congested areas, pilots are instructed to taxi at a speed of 5-7 knots. This speed is recommended to ensure safety and control in areas where there may be a higher density of aircraft, personnel, and other obstacles. Maintaining a lower taxi speed allows pilots to react promptly to any unexpected situations or hazards, such as other aircraft moving or personnel who may be near the taxiway.

Navigating at this slower speed also enhances situational awareness, as pilots have more time to assess their surroundings and make effective decisions. It ensures that they do not create excessive wake turbulence or risk collisions, which can be particularly critical in crowded airports or during busy operations.
