Taxiing a B200 (the 'lag') ... tricks?

[Vector4fun]

So very true.

If you think a KA-200 is fun to taxi try a Turbo Commander or a 20 or 30 series Lear. We used to gather around to watch the new guys.

Dad said back when the new-hires were sent to C-46s, you could easily tell on the taxi-out who'd been loggin' Parker P-51 time...

I just found this again by accident ... three years later. LOL.

Indeed, this piece of advice proved most helpful:

"2) Keep making constant small adjustments on the rudder pedals. Instead of seeing the nose drift left and then stomping on the right rudder, add a little bit of right, then a little bit of left to straighten it out and then a little more right. (This all happens much quicker than it took you to read the last sentence). Think of it as dancing on the rudder pedals."

And as everyone said, it got much easier. I was very lucky to get into Barons and King Airs very early on. I owe a certain corporate CP in GSO more than I could ever repay.

And I do sorely miss it. Couldn't take the paycut and time away from momma in the end and went back to IT. May be part-timing it again soon, though.
