Additionally, you may simply prefer to choose a starting point manually. To do this, click the **"More"** button and select your desired **Starting Position** from the list.\ It’s quick and easy.

Manual starting positions are identical to the automatic ones, with one exception:\ **Manual mode includes an additional option — "Start of Taxiway."** ## **Start on Taxiway** **Aircraft State:** * The aircraft begins at the **Taxiing for Takeoff** phase, positioned on the taxiway and ready to roll. **Description:**\ This starting point places your aircraft at the beginning of the taxi phase—ideal for quick departures without the need to go through boarding, startup, or pushback procedures. **User Tips:** * Make sure your aircraft systems are properly configured and ready for taxi before proceeding. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
