    Study Notes

    Direct Nose Wheel Steering

    • Direct mechanical connection between rudder pedals and nose gear

    Indirect Nose Wheel Steering

    • Hydraulically powered
    • Transmits signals from rudder pedals or steering wheel through cables or electric wires
    • This signal is sent to a steering control valve
