TAXI
All turns should be made at slow speeds using a minimum of inside wheel braking
when taxiing. Limit taxi speeds to the equivalent of a fast walk with nose wheel
steering engaged.
On the ground, propeller speed (NP) is a function of PCL position, ambient
temperature and pressure, taxi speed, and wind velocity. To stay out of the NP
restricted range, advance or reduce PCL setting. Once the aircraft is rolling, idle
PCL setting provides sufficient thrust for taxi.
NOTE
Minimum radius turns are possible through use of power, full rudder, and
differential braking. To preclude unnecessary wear to nose wheel steering
and tire, disengage nose wheel steering prior to executing sharp turns with
differential braking.
To re-engage nose wheel steering, actuate the nose wheel steering switch
prior to applying opposite rudder. Failure to do so may result in nose wheel
steering not engaging.
To prevent ground resonance within the propeller, stabilized operation of the
propeller in the 62 to 80% NP range is prohibited on the ground.
If brake pressure appears to fade during application, or brakes are not
responding as expected, fully release brakes then re-apply.
Both crew members must fully release brakes for this to be effective.
