Chris,

While reading this thread, I wonder if it's possible that folks are
not seeing eye to eye on what constitutes:

"... with an aircraft taking off, intending to take off, landing, or
intending to land."

In that some believe operating on the taxiway on the way to the
runway is included in this, while some others think that it is not?

I know that at a towered airport, you must have a clearance before
you may operate on the taxiway. I don't think anyone is trying to
dispute that. But I think the two conversations are focusing on different
aspects of the issue, which is causing some confusion.
