Is it better to use just the rudder or differential braking to turn on
taxiways? I understand that steering mechanisms vary considerably from one aircraft to another, but I'm still curious. In this case, I'm wondering about a Baron 58, the aircraft I fly in my sim (most of the time). I note when taxiing that the aircraft seems to oversteer, especially as speed increases. That is, I'll move the rudder to straighten out on the centerline of the taxiway, but the aircraft still continues to drift slightly in the turn and overshoots the centerline. Is this the way the real aircraft works? If so, what causes it? I should think that if the rudder pedals turn the nose wheel directly, it would be hard to overshoot unless the nose wheel actually skids or something (?). This isn't happening at high speed, it's like 16 knots or so (or does that count as high taxiway speed?). -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
