CESSNA SECTION 7
MODEL 182T NAV
Ill
AlRPLAhlE AhlD SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
GROUND CON'TROL
Effective ground control while taxiing is accomplished through
nosewheel 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 nosewheel
through an arc of approximately 11" each side of center. By
applying either left or right brake, the degree of turn may be
increased up to 29" each side of center.
Moving the airplane by hand is most easily accomplished by
attaching a tow bar to the nose gear strut. If a tow bar is not
available, or pushing is required, use the wing struts as push points.
Do not use the vertical or horizontal surfaces to move the airplane.
If the airplane is to be towed by vehicle, never turn the nosewheel
more than
29" either side of center or structural damage to the
nose gear could result.
The minimum turning radius of the airplane, using differential
braking and nosewheel steering during taxi, is approximately 27
feet. To obtain a minimum radius turn during ground handling, the
airplane may be rotated around either main landing gear by
pressing down on a
tailcone bulkhead just forward of the horizontal
stabilizer to raise the nosewheel off the ground. Care should be
exercised to ensure that pressure is exerted only on the bulkhead
area and not on skin between the bulkheads. Pressing down on the
horizontal stabilizer to raise the nosewheel off the ground is not
recommended.
