Ground Maneuvers
Nose Gear Steering Control
See Figure 7.5.3 and Figure 7.5.4.
The nose gear steering
control is combined with the rudder pedals and is fitted
with a shimmy damper. When one of the rudder pedals is fully pushed, the nose
wheel swivels approximately 20°. Steering may be increased up to 28° by applying
differential braking to each side.
The airplane may be towed by attaching a steering or towing bar on the nose gear
– refer to
Subsection 8.6. Ground Handling. In this case,
the nose wheel steering
angle is limited to ± 28°.
Minimum Turn Diameter
Minimum turn diameter is obtained by using nose gear steering and differential
braking – see
Figure 7.5.4.
NOTE
As tight turns result in untimely tire wear, turns should be made using the
largest possible turning radius.
