It’s like an A320 does.

A320NX Taxi Speed

Anyone else experiencing excessive taxi speed?, I seem to be taxiing around 30 - 40 knots on throttle at idle, real A320 taxi at idle, but not at this speed, having to constantly apply brakes to slow down or taxi on one engine, come on guys sort this complete mess out, we have all paid good money here.

Years of 747 real flying is, on the ramp inch the throttles until it starts taxiing then idle, keep your speed at 10-15KTS. Once on the taxi way let it role and once at 30KTS. use the brakes to get back to 15-20 and let it roll again. Do not ride the brakes otherwise the brakes will overheat and you’re looking at 30-45 minutes brake cooling. (If you ever see a tug towing the aircraft to the deicing area, he’s moving at 30-40). Taxiways look level but they never are except on the sim.

You might want to consider single engine taxi if you are not any where near MTOW. The A320 has always been lighter and powered well enough to “slide” on the ramp, unless in an incline. The new NEO now gives it a higher bypass in the turbofan, this means more air, even more slippery on the ramp.

I personally always taxi with single engine ops, then I turn on the engine with 3-4 minutes to go before take off, allowing the oil temperatures to stabilize before departure.

Hope that helps.
