INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION. Human factors digest n.6: ergonomics. Montreal, 1992. (Cir. 238 AN/143).
Contexto
Approaching the north boundary of the field, the Captain tried to turn left to avoid crossing a road which was adjacent to the airport, but the nose steering wheel was inoperative. Left rudder was immediately applied; however, the aircraft responded so quickly to this action that right rudder had to be applied at once to keep the aircraft from ground looping. After the aircraft was again rolling straight, the Captain pulled back on the wheel, causing the nose wheel to lift from the ground, and the aircraft rolled beyond the airport boundary across a highway, through two fences and a ditch, and came to rest in a wheat field.
