'loaded' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I don't see how one could define the other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for taxied that I've seen before include "Of aircraft, moved slowly on ground" , "Travelled slowly, as an aircraft on a runway" , "prepared to take off" , "Travelled slowly, as a plane on the runway" , "didn't use the bus!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
