On the EMB if you are over 25 or 35 knots wheel speed (something like that--I forget) with the TLs at less than a certain angle (54 degrees or some such--I forget) the boards will auto deploy. *Ding* SPDBRK LEVER DISAGREE Happened all the time in the RJ and the Legacy, especially at places with long straightaways or downhills (KMCO, KLAS, KPHX, etc.). The usual stay off the brakes thing.... Otherwise I had no accurate idea how fast I was taxiing. Can anyone really tell what eight knots is? LOL
 
Too fast

Some airplanes have max taxi speeds for turns....A300/310 for one. Careless and reckless always applies. What is 8 kts? Look at the GPS grd. speed read out.
 
I never trusted that. GPS always gave a speed even when sitting still. I forget what now. I guess with a little math... ;)
