NOSE WHEEL STEERING SYSTEM
Unlike in most other aircraft the CRJ’s nosewheel steering needs to be activated manually by selecting the N/W
STRG switch to the ARMED position. Then you can turn the nosewheel up to 80° either side of center with the
steering tiller mounted on the pilot’s side panel. Deflection controlled by the rudder pedals is limited to 8°
either side of center.
As soon as the aircraft is in the air (no weight-on-wheel signal detected) the systems commands straight ahead.
In case the steering tiller is deflected more than 2° while in air (i.e. before touchdown) the STEERING INOP
caution message will appear on the EICAS
.
