GROUND
CONTROL
Effective
ground
control
inife taxiing is accomplished
through
nose
wheel steering
by using the
rudder
pedals;
left
rudder
pedal
to steer left and
right
rudder
pedal
to steer right. When a rudder
pedal
is depressed, a
spring-loaded
steering
bungee
(which
is connected to the nose
gear
and
to
the rudder bars)
will turn
the nose
wheel
through an arc of approximately
15o each side
ofcenter.
By applying
either
left or right brake, the degree of
turn ma,y
be
increased
up to 30" each side of center.
Moving the
airplane by
hand
is most
easily
accomplished
by
attaching
a
tow
bar
to the
nose
gea,r
strut.
If a tow bar is not available,
or
pushing
is
required,
use
tho wing struts
as
push points.
Do not
use the vertical
or
horizontal
surfaces
to move the airplane. If the airplane is to
