Utdrag från FAA-publikationen " Handbok för instrumentprocedurer ":
Standard taxi routes improve ground management at highdensity airports, namely those that have airline service. At these airports, typical taxiway traffic patterns used to move aircraft between gate and runway are laid out and coded. The ATC specialist (ATCS) can reduce radio communication time and eliminate taxi instruction misinterpretation by simply clearing the pilot to taxi via a specific, named route. An example of this would be Los Angeles International Airport (KLAX), where North Route is used to transition to Runway 24L. [Figure 1-7] These routes are issued by ground control, and if unable to comply, pilots must advise ground control on initial contact. If for any reason the pilot becomes uncertain as to the correct taxi route, a request should be made for progressive taxi instructions. These step-by-step routing directions are also issued if the controller deems it necessary due to traffic, closed taxiways, airport construction, etc. It is the pilot’s responsibility to know if a particular airport has preplanned taxi routes, to be familiar with them, and to have the taxi descriptions in their possession. Specific information about airports that use coded taxiway routes is included in the Notice to Airmen Publication (NTAP).

Vid skrivningstillfället finns KLAX North Route-exemplet på sidan 4-SW-11 och läser:
North Route Taxi towards taxilane Sierra (S) taxi northbound on taxilane Sierra (S), and at Check-point-1 contact Ground Control on frequency 121.65, hold short of taxiway Delta (D). Taxilane Sierra (S) is not visible from the ATCT
Det finns också FAA Advisory Circular 7110.116 som reglerar Standard Taxi Routes (STR) som bilaterala avtal ( LOA: s brevavtal) mellan varje ATC-enhet och deras användare (flygbolag). Dokumentet innehåller information om vad LOA måste innehålla.
Utanför USA kan standardtaxiinstruktioner, om några, förväntas hittas i AD-sektionen (Aerodromes) i respektive respektive lands AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication).
Som flygbolag kan denna information integreras i ditt företags navdatalösning, dvs. Information om standardtaxor som finns tillgängliga för dig skulle skrivas / dras ut med dina flygplatdiagram mm.
