Do the schedules take into account taxi times? Obviously, this would play more of a role at larger airports.

Thanks!

The schedules, if I understand them correctly, are from engine start to engine shutdown.

I don't believe there is any specific guideline to do this, but if flight times were taken from real-world schedules it is likely that they do.  At any rate, I use FS Flight Tracker to record precise block times from push-back to shutdown, and quite often those are within a few minutes (give or take) of the scheduled flight times.

They're supposed to, although I'm not sure if accounting for taxi time is in all of the schedules yet......

The schedules that Dave and I did for Miami, Fort Lauderdale, San Juan, Santiago & Rio all have 15-20 mins included for taxi time on both ends.
