The nose gear on the bus is not designed to rotate at all when it retracts.....other than to say it will rotate to the centered position. If it isn't centered when the gear lever is raised, it will not retract.

Thanks A350....that is all I wanted to know....as usualy I heard or saw somewhere in this world of mis information that the Bus Gear normally rotated...I thought that was very strange only because I am sure I would have noticed this watching this acft durning takeoffs...
 
I was curious about that as well. Since nose wheels don't really have a snubber until they are in the well, a rotating wheel turned 90 degrees from the direction of travel would put tremendous stress (Gyro) on that motor and would not seem to make a lot of sense, but stranger things have happened! I am eager to read the final report and see what is causing this problem. Thanks for the original post.
