 | TAXI TIPS
Do you have trouble getting you airplane to come to a complete stop when the engine
is idling on the taxiway?
Take the wheel collars holding the nose wheel on the landing gear wire and readjust them
so they are sandwiching the nose wheel tightly, causing it to bind slightly on the axle.
The amount of "bind" can be set such that a brisk engine idle will not cause the
airplane to move. If done correctly, this braking action will not cause any problems in
taxi or takeoff. You can also do a the same thing with the main gear wheels, but getting
them so the "bind" is equal on both sides is difficult. Differential in binding
on the mains will effect taxi and takeoff.
