When the pilot releases the brakes, the aircraft starts accelerating rapidly until the necessary speed for take-off is achieved. Before takeoff, the engines, particularly piston engines, are routinely run up at high power to check for engine-related problems. Following the taxi motion, the aircraft stops at the starting line of the runway.

Usually the engines are run at full power during takeoff. Takeoff is the phase of flight in which an aircraft goes through a transition from moving along the ground (taxiing) to flying in the air, usually starting on a runway. This is why the aircrafts are pushed back from the buildings by a vehicle before they can start their own engines for taxiing. The use of engine thrust near terminals is restricted due to the possibility of jet blast damage. Steering is achieved by turning a nose wheel or tail wheel/rudder the pilot controlling the direction travelled with their feet. The thrust to propel the aircraft forward comes from its propellers or jet engines. The other aircrafts have to wait for these aircrafts before they start or continue taxiing. The aircrafts that are landing or taking off have higher priority. Just like cars, there is a certain list of priorities during taxiing. Before making a turn, the pilot reduces the speed further to prevent tire skids.

The aircrafts always moves on the ground following the yellow lines, to avoid any collision with the surrounding buildings, vehicles or other aircrafts. An airplane uses taxiways to taxi from one place on an airport to another for example, when moving from a terminal to the runway. Taxiing refers to the movement of an aircraft on the ground, under its own power. Image courtesy of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) 4.1 Taxi
