During taxiing within 25 feet of an obstruction, which arrangement is required?

• A. One wing walker on the left wing tip
• B. Two wing walkers total
• C. A minimum of one wing walker for each wing tip
• D. A single wing walker at the cockpit

Answer: (C)

When taxiing close to an obstruction, the wings are at risk of contact and the pilot’s view of the wings is limited. To maintain safe clearance on both sides, you need a wing walker at each wing tip to monitor and guide the aircraft.

A minimum of one wing walker for each wing tip ensures both wings are watched and signals can be communicated to the pilot for safe maneuvering. Having only one wing walker on a single wing leaves the opposite wing unmonitored, and placing two wing walkers without specifying placement could still miss one wing tip. A single wing walker at the cockpit does not watch the wings at all.

So the required arrangement is a wing walker on each wing tip.
