They have hydraulic steering activated through the rudder pedals.

First "stop"works the steering, second works the brakes. It is very easy to get the brakes when you want the steering.

I read a comment from an instructor on a US website devoted to Commanders that if the student was having problems with the steering, he got them to remove their shoes and just flex their toes to steer.

The problems I had when I did my endorsement ceased when I stopped wearing leather-soled shoes and wore shoes that were more flexible.

Great aircraft to fly. Very stable on instruments. Don't hold the nose up too long on landing as it will come done with a bit of bang.

Enjoy.
