​​​​​​If I remember correctly (which is now debatable) he was a prior CPL holder that did well through GFPT and struggled on IF and washed out.

I understand the F18 requires its nosewheel steering rate set to low after taxing and failing to do so was the cause of a runway excursion across the arrestor blocks many years ago in Williamtown
