Nose wheel steering problem

Featured Replies

Hi,

I am having problems with the nose wheel steering during taxiing and the take off roll !

As soon as I apply power the steering goes to maximum right lock without any inputs from me.

Then after a few seconds the steering will centre again before repeating the process again.

I don't know if it had anything to do with it, but I did try to do turns while going through the push back.

the contols I used where...SHIFT + P    then SHIFT +P + 1 & 2 .

Can anyone provide me with a solution to this problem.

Thanks in anticipation

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the response.

Yes I did think it could be a controller problem, and I went through the calibration wizard.

Everything checked out ok....apart from the Z Axis input Bar on the calibration screen.

No matter what I pressed it didn't move ? As I've never had this problem before, I can't remember if it ever did move !

However, when I press the FLY NOW button , and the aircraft is ready to go...I notice the front gear moving on its own without any inputs from me at all !

Usually when I get the aircraft moving...providing the throttles are equally set...the aircraft will simply go in a straight line.

I have been busy with work at the moment, but will have another go at it soon.

Regards

Aerovan(Alan)
