BRAKE/STEERING CHECKING PROCEDURES<br />
When first beginning to taxi, conduct a check of braking effectiveness by:<br />
Allowing the airplane to begin movement under power; then,<br />
Reduce the power to idle and depress the top portion of both rudder<br />
pedals (brake function) sufficiently to bring the airplane to a complete<br />
stop.<br />
Verify that the braking effort, braking action, and pedal travel are all<br />
satisfactory.<br />
Verify that the airplane steering is satisfactory by:<br />
Depressing the rudder pedal in the direction of turn desired<br />
Verify that the airplane responds properly to the rudder pedal input.<br />
NOTE<br />
When an Instructor Pilot (IP) is seated in either the left or right<br />
front seat, the IP shall conduct a separate check of<br />
braking/steering effectiveness from that seating position to<br />
ensure that the rudder pedals are functioning properly,<br />
effectively, and satisfactory.<br />
Ensure that the throttle is set at idle before initiating a positive<br />
exchange of the flight controls.<br />
