What is the maximum nose gear steering angle during taxi?

The maximum nose gear steering angle during taxi for the CRJ 900 is 75 degrees. This limitation is crucial for pilots to understand as it directly affects the aircraft's maneuverability on the ground. A larger nose gear steering angle allows for tighter turns, which is particularly beneficial in managing the aircraft in confined ramp areas or when taxiing in and out of gates.

Understanding the maximum steering angle helps in maintaining control of the aircraft during ground operations and prevents potential oversteering situations that could lead to loss of control. This limitation is in place to ensure that pilots operate the aircraft safely within its design parameters, avoiding potential damage to the aircraft structure or ground personnel.
