Nota Adicional1
Airplanes with conventional landing gear are sometimes referred to as tailwheel airplanes. When the third wheel is located on the nose, it is called a nosewheel, and the design is referred to as a tricycle gear. A steerable nosewheel or tailwheel permits the airplane to be controlled throughout all operations while on the ground. Most aircraft are steered by moving the rudder pedals, whether nosewheel or tailwheel.
Contexto
The Air Florida Operations Manual procedures for takeoff recommend a rolling takeoff. The procedures specify that the captain use nosewheel steering (controlled by the tiller) until the aircraft is aligned with the runway.
