Dear friends and followers, welcome back to my channel. Today´s topic is a question I got asked ever so often.
How do airplanes steer around the apron?
So in today´s video we´ll discuss how a little Cessna steers it´s nosewheel compared to a big airline jet.
The nosewheel on a Cessna is mechanically connected to the rudder pedals which you use to move the rudder attached to the vertical stabiliser. But the nosewheel only moves by a few degrees, so if you wanted to perform a 90-degree turn to enter a taxiway, for example, you would apply brake pressure on either side of the main landing gear and use the propeller airstream to more or less pull yourself around the corner. The disadvantages obviously are tyre abrasion and a lot of stress on the nosewheel strut.
So how do airlines do that?
Using asymmetric thrust would do the job, but the torsion forces on the nosewheel strut would severely damage the construction. So again the nosewheel is linked to the rudder pedals like in our little Cessna. But another additional mechanism was installed, the so-called nose wheel steering which is powered hydraulically. You could compare that to your power steering in your car.
To learn about it watch the entire video, as I`ll be going to more detail about the hydraulics involved moving the nosewheel. When the nosewheel steering disconnects, how to perform a flight control check and using the nosewheel steering disconnection button, how to use the steering pin by the pushback driver and how to maintain on the centerline of the taxiway.
I hope you enjoy the video, a comment and a thumbs up are highly appreciated.
Thanks for watching, all the best your "Captain" Joe
Big thank you to ERAUspecialVFR for providing me with great video content. Please make sure to check out there website their flight school in Daytona/Florida
Big thank you to @Best Videos for providing me with a great insight of the Boeing 777 video.
Big thank you to HamburgVideosHD for his brand new video of the Airbus A350-1000. Absolutely stunning!

Great video Captain Joe, thank you for it! My dad was a private pilot (he never flew commercial airliners or anything that resembles them) but due to this I grew up surrounded by pilot's slang, books, magazines and so.
One of the things I have always wanted to understand was how (as explained in your video) large aircraft turned in the ground, I knew there was a small steering wheel but far beyond this (like the many details you shared) was something I couldn't even imagined.
One of the things that surprised me the most was using a small Cessna as example as I recall (my dad passed away almost 16 years ago) him turning his little 210 using only rudder pedals (I didn't even know that brake pressured was required for a complete turn) so always wanted to know about steering procedures on larger planes.
Thanks a lot, love your channel, keep it up!
you know when the experts say *it is fairly simple* it is actually not
this stuff is pretty simple
It is tho tbh
He has expeirience with it.
it kinda is simple
ер вщш! ЧЕЗ? На на!
Hmmm. I didn't know that little tidbit about the Triple 7's gear. Cool.
P.S. Great stuff, as usual, Joe. :)
Boeing >
Boeing doesn't make the landing gear. Up until recently, it was Goodrich/UTAS.
And to which aircraft do these landing gear design belong to? Boeing
Yup, the original design was by Boeing, absolutely accurate.
However, over the years the design was constantly tweaked, with much of the design additions being done by Goodrich/UTAS Engineers.
And they are doing great things, absolutely. My point is just that the parts are designed to fit for Boeing aircraft, meaning in my view, Boeing is better engineered and I believe, more redundant and safer than Airbus
Very informative captain!
Q8Pilot You Watch Captain Joe as well I am ur number 1 fan please consider subscribing to me plz as I am a small CZcams thanks man
He’s not a captain ...
All this stuff helps make boring airline flights much more interesting. Thanks!
I THINK YOU MEANT FIRST OFFICER
Bozza go away
I love how you used ‘Vans’ shoes in your rudder peddle display. Coolest shoes ever! They never go out of style. ‘Vans’ rock!
Joe, as an aspiring pilot, all I can say is that your videos enlighten me far better than any book ever did. Splendid video man!
Hey Joe! Thanks to all the information you bring in your videos I decided to start my pilot career, from zero hours to multi-engine commercial pilot. Wish me luck!
You blew my mind with that 777 fact
Damian Tymkiw same here lol
The sound is so much better now! Thank you for re-uploading it, the dedicaton you put into this channel is incredible. Amazing job Joe :) super interesting video as always
I've been wanting to know this for years. Thank you very much.
Finally I understand the transition to/from tiller. Speed does the trick. Simple for me. Thank You!
dont remove this video again :)
Ozan Cakir why did he removed before?
Ozan Cakir he removed the video because of bad audio
Ozan Cak
The audio was messed up in previously deleted version
Nice video, the B777 is not the only plane with body gear steering, the B747s also have body gear steering via the center body gears
Today I was able to understand why you can stroke rudder pedals fully as the part of flight controls check while taxing straight forward. Thank you Captain.
Hey Captain , this is one of the best aviation channels and thanks a lot for all your effort and informative content :)
I have one kindly request from you , I am on a preparation of an interview for a pilot trainee programme and in this interview ,candidates have to answer behavioural questions(crm like questions and scenarios).
Therefore, Could you upload a video about the personality/qualifications of a pilot , communication and cooperation in the cockpit between pilots , techniques that you follow for problem solving , stress management and other critical things about human factors in the cockpit ?
Even though I spent the last 25 Years of my Working Life in Airbus Technical Documentation on all Topics under the Responsibility of Hamburg, Bremen and Buxtehude, working on Maintenance Manuals, FRM FIM, Trouble Shooting and lastly writing Modification Documents (all Aircraft Types from A300 thru A380). I find your Videos extremely interesting, informative and well presented. Thanks for helping me understand a lot of things which I didn't know.
Boeing 777, the only bulldozer that can fly
Inverted T lol
yeah a flying bulldozer, but it doesn't have a ripper at the back or a blade at the front
Harry Han it could tho
no its not the only one the 747 is also do that
look at the Airbus A380 and The a Antonov
In a Piper Cherokee the rudder pedals are directly linked to the nosewheel, so for example you cannot check rudder deflection before take-off without grinding the nosewheel tire as you do so. In the Cessna the connection to the nosewheel is through a couple of springs, that incline the nosewheel to turn without forcing it. In a Cessna you CAN check full rudder deflection before take-off without the nosewheel turning at all.
Wait a min *HE CALLED IT THE TARMAC*
Yeah, and he’s an actual pilot! T A R M A C
Tarmacc
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly, he call it a tarmaccc
Last time I flew a B737-800 and the pilot said Tarmac 2 times whilst backtracking. I guess the media has made people think that an apron is a "Tarmac" so the pilot said it so that the passengers understand.
Lol, when you hear so many people say it in the media you end up saying it to.
I'm not a pilot nor have i ever wanted to be a pilot but i can't stop watching your videos. They are so interesting. Keep it up Cap Joe!
This is a lie. There are 100s of tiny dwarfs at the front wheel and they turn the wheel on command of the pilots.
The Right Wing conspiracy theorists will tell you that..
I thought it was like that, thank you for telling me its wrong
I always knew that Tyrion Lannister had a second job.
Tiny dwarfs? What other kinds of dwarfs are there? Large dwarfs? Wouldn't really be dwarfs anymore, now would they?
@@salehal-mazrooei7996 its only 100 50 40 30 20 10
Knew some of this from being an armchair pilot, but learned so much more here. Thanks for the FULL story! Clear skies to you! And thanks for your great videos.
You fixed the audio
did he duck?
Great job. I refer this video to anyone that asks me the question, "Ho do pilots turn the plane?" You talk kind of fast for a layman to be able to comprehend all the technical stuff, but if whoever is watching this video uses the pause button and rewind to go back and then forward, it clears up any misunderstandings.
re-upload because of sound?
wisehero69 yup
A-ffirm
I mean, yeah why else?
I was afraid of flying. I had to make a couple of flights and then here i am. For several months subscribed to your channel. Eagerly waiting to see what's new around. Thank you Captain Joe ;)
I love his tutorials and i want to be a pilot someday but my parents cant afford pilot school in my country
Tony Stark What country?
But tony, you’re iron man. What do you mean?!
I dont know how it is in Europe but in Canada we have something called a "bi-pass pin" which is a small pin that goes into the nose gear. We use it for pushbacks. With the pin connected, pilots aren't able to turn the nose gear at all (to keep ground crew and pushback vehicles safe in case pilot accidentally tries). This pin is taken off after tow bar is disconnected
Imagine of you can steer all the wheels at a 90°angle
What if then powering the pilot decided it was a good idea to go forward? It wouldn't be very good for tire wear, would it? (Or for the aircraft itself on that matter...)
Γιώργος Τσιαμασιώτης but going forward wold be Impossibile without using any thrust reverse
Captain Joe you are a big help to me and everyone else by giving small aviation lessons. Thank you so much and I really enjoy watching your videos!
Why do planes not revers by them selvs
Tekno G because the engines are are faced to go forward.
Dumbest thing I have ever heard
alacycle is intelligent. if reverse thrusters arae capable of braking the vehicle they certainly can make it go in reverse. But as you say, thrust going to the airport isnt healthy for the airport
Case in point why not used to taxi in reverse : The Air Florida Flight 90 tragedy.
Are you an idiot?
Hello Captain Joe, I have some questions about flying:
1. Can you explain us the difference between VOR and NDB- Stations on Ground?
2. Did have a plane a signal horn for outside like a car?
3. Do you have a "Pilot Control" to save you from sleeping (like in a Train Cockpit) ?
4. Did all aircrafts flying only with GPS or do you still using the VOR/NDB Stations on Ground? Is the Outer Marker and Middle Marker still in Order or out of order?
5. Do you speak german? I wish the translate in German language because you have a lot of german fans like me, whose cannot speak/understand perfect english.
Thank you very much Sir and take care; -)
last comment
obviously not first
No longer last.
that was more complicated and counter intuitive than I expected o_O - ty for posting!
it's a re upload
Aldo who cares?
I only thought of this question yesterday - so thanks for answering it today.
I think (Piper super cub) has tiny pedals under the rudder pedals which apply L, R brakes to effect steering. Tail wheel casters to suit. (One of my rare trips in a powered aircraft!)
In GTA V you just use the flaps...
You use the ailerons and rudder in GTA, bro. San Andreas flight school missions were so good!
… you do know what the flaps are, no?
There were other videos on this but this one is the most thorough, well done!
Captain joeee 😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙😙 gonna repeat the same comment as I commented on ur previous one, but yes "we learn from our mistakes". Anyways please make a video for the black white spinning wheel beside the thrust lever. Love you joe ... hope the next video will be for the trim wheels .... love you sir, your videos are excellent and am able to learn a lot just because of you... ✈️✈️✈️😍🤐😍😍😙😍😍😙😍😙😍😙😚😍🛫😍🛫😍🛫😍🛫😍🛫😍🛫😍🛫😍🛫😍🛫😍🛫😍🛫😍🛫😍
Stop spamming emotes, please.
EVA_Unit_4A am sorry sir.... I'll keep that in mind ☺️
Ali Ibrahim but who does it better than joe 😙🛫
Ali Ibrahim thank you a lot I'll definitely check on that sir
does are the trim for the elevators, they help control the airplane. On the airbus are full automatic
Very Easy to understand & Very informative. Just go with Joe !!!!
I thought it was the actual steering column where you pull up for take off after rotate & push down after landing.... Thanks Joe for this information & by the way your videos are exciting to watch.
The best airliner teacher. Thank you captain Joe.
5:23 our captain, always smiling 😁👍🏻
Concise and straightforward. Thanks!
Capt'n Joe, you're the man! Cheers from the USA
My airplane (1946 ercoupe) has rudder pedals however the yoke still steers the airplane on the ground, really funky actually!
I have always wondered about this. I think you did a really good job explaining this to non-pilots like myself.
Danke, für das Beantworten der Frage. Freue mich auf das nächste Video.
Nice the one i have been waiting for long time!
I always know the answer to Joe's videos but I still watch them because I love them
Excellent. Always wondered how all that works. Thanks Cap Joe.
I know a lot about airplanes, but this was a very informative video. Very well done Joe.
Brilliant explanation covering all applications of nose wheel
Hi Captain Joe , you would make a really good teacher. Thanks for the video.
As I sometimes play Flight Sims, this interested me. As it's only an on again, off again hobby, I don't have much experience. When taking off, I would notice difficulty maintaining the runway centerline, and usually end up overcorrecting.
I use some basic rudder pedals with push and tilt, as well as a yoke and throttle assembly.
Certainly not a modern airplane, but a third method for the nose wheel is what was used, for example, on the Boeing B-29 bomber and related planes; the nose wheel was simply a caster, much like the front wheels on a grocery cart....the nose wheels just swivel in the direction of least resistance, and all steering input is by differential thrust, differential braking, of rudder. When Boeing redesigned many systems of the B-29 to make the (almost) new B-50 type, they went with the steerable nose wheel much as on modern commercial passenger aircraft.
Wow, I didn't know about the tilt of the main landing gear of the 777. Great video and thanks. Greetings from Mexico.
Well worth the wait Captain Joe. Fantastic video!
captain Joe I had always wanted to know how an airplane steers during landing and takeoff, thank you for your vids are awesome. I'm super inspired I want to follow through with my dream of being a pilot!
Hey Joe, I congratulate you for your simple and clear explanation that also allows an Italian as me to understand all that you say! Thanks! :)
I learnt how important it is to line up with the runway properly.
Hey Captain....great video. I wonder if you could have videos on following topics
1. Retractable landing gear mechanism
2.Weather radar.
3.Elevator trim
You may also do a walkaround of a typical passenger aircraft to explain various features
Great video. Explains all the the questions I had about controlling a plane.
The video was actually quite educating but the thing that you told us about the 777 was actually excellent so to thank you captain
Pretty simple lets take airbus as an example. Rudder stearing pedal will also steer the nose landing gear but it realy depends on the speed how much you can steer it with the rudder pedals. And you have the little steering "wheel" to taxi around.
My friend works for American. Someone forgot to put the lock pin in the nose gear when they started to tow the plane . They ended up breaking the tow bar .They asked if the pilot could make the rest of way out to the taxi way, he said no problem. They took the tow bar and ditched it in the woods. It was the 2nd time they had broken one because of the same mistake.
Its sorta like rack and pinion steering. The rack would be the rail and the cog would be the pinion gear attached to the steering shaft and steering wheel.
absolute fantastic video. was well worth the delayed wait. often wondered so many times about how they taxy and turn the way aircrafts do. thanks joe keep up the great work
Joe, I think even as a passenger i noted about 3 things during my last flight that i wouldn't have known if it weren't for your videos.
Can I offer one note for this video? Generally native English speakers will say "to recap" rather than "to recapture" all native English speakers should understand "to recapture" but it isn't the standard form. Having said that I can't speak any other languages nor can i fly a plane so please don't take this as a criticism because i love your videos!!!
I actually had a confusion on this topic. Thanks for clearing it out.
the best and simple explanation by a captain. I learned it very quickly. Keep up the good work captain joe. 😉
AdiAziz636 He's not a captain
This is highly informative. I've always wondered how pilots get the center perspective to align the plane during rotation. Fly high Joe!
Excellent as usual! Many,thanks Captain Joe!
U will inspire many ,a good pilot teacher.
Informative indeed. I had no knowledge of the B-777's ability to turn its two main gears. 👍🏽
Just an average guy here. I am 72 first flight I flew in was a Boeing 707. Flew to Ireland from America. I Think it took 6 hours over and 5 hours back because of head winds, I was 17. It is so interesting to have you explain how flying is done. I heard years ago some planes start there wheels spinning before they land to save the tread on the wheel. Do large airplanes start their wheels spinning before landing? Thank you .
my favorite channel...thanks Joe for sharing this information
The Boeing Triple Seven is like a bulldozer haha. I never noticed the last wheel of the three could turn!
joe this is a really good and informative video here thumbs up from me. I didn't know about the rear gears of a 777 can have minimal turn as well. Thanks Joe! I'll spread the word with my friends.
You really make the best videos about flying on CZcams! I´m always happy when you upload a video. I´ve learned a lot of things. Thank you very much. I hope you wont stop doing CZcams and I wish you still a great career as a pilot! Best Whishes!
Amazing topic dealt with brilliantly
great video again,thanks,wheely wheely good video,you are steering me in the correct direction,oh and a 777 flys like a bulldozer as well ,thanks cp.joe
Thanks Captain Joe for answering my questions love all your videos best of luck may all your flights be safe and on time
👂👍 Danke für die Version mit Audio.. Happy flight 😊✈️
Of course just like they have a rear view mirror and indicators
As a pilot, it's fun to watch these videos to see what people don't know about airplanes as common knowledge
Between Joe and Kennedy Steve I'm learning that navigating on the ground is way more complicated than it looks as a passenger.
Exzellente Erklärung. Sehr gut!
Awesome video! I learned new things! Can't wait to see What's next!
absolutely awesome video very fascinating and informative makes me wish even that I was a pilot
thank u for this info when i grow up i really wanna be a pilot and u help me out with so many things:)
Awesome video content Joe, very informative. Perhaps the brake fan could be featured in a future video.
And a 6 speed transmission .. you can tell when they change gear by the little puffs of brown smoke when they’re climbing.
So much better now, Thanks Captain😀
You’re professional. I like your videos you have excellent way in the explaining
Joe, you are TOO COOL! I am so interested in these little detail stuff, you make me smarter with every video! :-)
The 'cog rail' is called a 'rack', and the 'cog wheel' is called a 'pinion', hence 'rack and pinion' steering, as in modern cars.
Joe...i am not a pilot...i am an aviation buzz...i have seen mostly all your videos...and i am so moved by the education you provide. What led me to know so much more about flights and how they fly is Turbulence. I am so scared in a turbulence that it scares the hell out of me. Can you showcase some or the other videos on turbulence and are they safe. I would be highly obliged. 😊
I love this channel. It was the reason I wanted to become and airline pilot. Then I looked online and found I couldn't become one because of my adhd
No, they have a stick, or wheel, or hand control depending on the aircraft type. Nose wheel steering, used only at real slow speeds, is used to steer the aircraft by allowing the front wheels to turn. You can also use the toe brakes to aid in steering, but it's not as effective as nose wheel steering. Once the plane is moving, usually above 50-60 knots ( at 1 mile per hour the plane would cover 5280 feet in an hour, at 1 knot the plane covers 6000 feet in one hour) , the nose wheel steering is no longer useful and they use the rudder to steer the plane.
