8.12 NOSE WHEEL STEERING / CENTRING SYSTEM
8.12.1 DESCRIPTION
For all models the nose wheel steering system consists pushrods directly connecting the rudder
pedals to the nose leg assembly. The systems are shown in Section 12
. For some models a “soft
link” is fitted between the nose leg and the rudder pedals to absorb vibrations. Details of this
assembly are shown below (Figure 64 and Figure 65).
For all models the nose wheel centring system consists of springs which are stretched when the
nose leg is moved to the left or the right. The systems are shown in Section 12.
Repair of these systems is limited to the replacement of parts.
