CAUTION
Excessive use of brakes with the
increased weight of this aircraft will
increase the possibility of brake
failure and/or brake fire. Judicious
use of the brakes is recommended
with coordinated use of beta range.
Taxi speed con be effectively controlled by the use
of power application and the use of the variable pitch
propellers in beta range. Normal turns may be made with
the steerable nose wheel; however, a turn may be
tightened by using full rudder and inside brake as
necessary. Turns should not be started with brakes alone,
nor should the aircraft be pivoted sharply on one main
gear.
