What is the minimum taxi width required for the CRJ series?

The minimum taxi width required for the CRJ series is 35 feet. This measurement is critical for ensuring that the aircraft can safely navigate along taxiways without risk of collision with obstacles, such as signage, light posts, or other aircraft. Taxiway widths also play a significant role in providing enough space for the wings and other protruding parts of the aircraft during maneuvers, especially in tight spaces.

The defined width accommodates the CRJ's wingspan and overall dimensions, providing a margin for operational safety during taxiing. Adhering to this minimum width is essential for ground operations, allowing pilots to execute turns and navigate to and from runways without compromising safety. Understanding these specifications is part of training that ensures pilots are knowledgeable about the aircraft's operational requirements.
