Towing/Taxiing
On hard surfaces, the aircraft can be towed or pushed back-
wards using a tow bar attached to the nose wheel. The turning
angle of the nose wheel with tow bar is 90°, either side of cen-
ter. When the aircraft is not on a hard surface, (such as sand,
soft ground, or mud), cables or ropes must be attached to each
main gear for towing; in such an event, steering is accom-
plished with the rudder pedals.
For taxi operations, directional control is accomplished utilizing
the nosewheel steering system. The maximum turning radius
for the nosewheel steering system is 45° either side of center.
