This was happening so much people had to be reminded of taxi speed on the ramp, walking pace. DUH!!!! 
Even if you were going along at a pretty good clip, I'm pretty sure if you have even the slightest bit of situation awareness you'd think to slow down for these bumps! |
At Reid-Hillview theirs a grate that has been known to cause some prop strikes. I was taught to A) go slow and B) Go full back on the yoke and get as much weight off the nose as possible. Never hit it once! :-)
