Once you have completed the all the steps in the previous section, it is now time to Contact ATC and begin taxing to the runway.
First, bring your mouse over to the top of the screen whee the bar shows up. Click on Location, then Local Map. Zoom in on the map until you find the airport. Where it says KSEA:Seattle Tacoma Intl, click on the little circle right above that. A area will appear that has all the ATC frequencies. You need to get the one that says CLNC DEL. This is the clearance frequency. In this case it's 128.00. Exit the screen so you are back in the cockpit. In the cockpit, below the speed break is where you put the frequencies. Make sure that you have the AM selected which means com1. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look at the picture below. In the end this is what you should have:

Once you have 128.00 dialled in, click enter on your keyboard. Then press Request Clearance. Once ATC gives you clearance, you need to read it back, so press enter again, then Read Back Transmission. ATC told us squeak 4701. What you need to do with this is go to the other side of the whole panel. There will be a 4 digit number. It is probably already set at 4701, but if it isn't, then just click the numbers until you have it in.
Now you need to go back to the local map and back to the frequencies. The next frequency you need is GND (Ground.) The frequency is 121.70. Put this in to where you put the other frequency. The frequency that is active is the one on the left side. So just click on the little arrow to switch them. Then press enter on your keyboard and click enter. It should say Request Taxi. Press that, then read back transmission. If you go to an outside view of the plane (Shift4) you should see arrows pointing to where you need to go. Release the break and throttle up a bit and follow the lines. When taxing stay under 30kts or ATC could make you reset your flight plan. When you get to the end of the arrows, make sure your nose gear is past the arrows or ACT will not give you the next frequency.
