Provided is a taxiing system for steering an amphibious aircraft on a body of water with a steering means, a control console and a power source all in operable and electrical communication. The steering means is a jet drive coupled to an impeller assembly mounted inside each float. Alternatively the steering means is a propulsion system with a pair of tunnel-type thrusters mounted inside the floats in the aircraft. The control console operates the taxiing system during steering and at least one electromagnetic lock during docking.
