does body gear turning operate during pushback?

Recommended Posts

Just curious, given that in the tutorial on pg 88 it notes that:

 

"#4 (pump) in AUX powers the brakes and body gear steering while the engines are off."

This thread seems to suggest it does in the real world (apologies if you knew this). 

 

Can you switch to an external view to check if it happens in-sim?

Hey Chris,

 

Minor correction to that statement.  Hydraulic System 1 is the system that controls Body and Nose gear steering so you our procedure is Sys 4 to AUX,  Sys 1 Demand to AUTO.  That gives you brakes and steering.   I will have the person who wrote that part of the manual reprimanded immediately  :hi:
