Oh, makes sense now!
How do the Boeing drivers perform a rudder check when taxiing? Do you just hold the tiller at the same time to counteract the "rudder-fine steering?

Lockheed's tiller just disconnects the rudder pedal steering when doing rudder checks. Simple. My present plane requires rudder checks before arming the NWS.

When I see the mention of Lockheeds tiller, I assume you mean the Tristar. It sent a shiver through me. About the worst job on the L1011 was replacing the rudder fine steering actuator. It was quite unreliable and nearly impossible to reach. You really needed a 10 year old mechanic to get in there!
