A330 NWS angle limit 30deg
Hi there new to the bus was wondering if the airbus pros could tell me how do you restrict to 30deg on the tiller when you have two deflated tires. Meaning to say where is the 30deg mark. Thanks for the help..

You can interrogate the middle box MCDU, and taxi, watching your nose wheel steering angle. But you have to know where to look and the code.
We used to do it this way for other reasons a few years back.

This is probably best demonstrated, ask one of your engineers to show you but briefly :
MCDU MENU
System report/test
CMC 1 or CMC 2
ATA 32
BSCU
Specific Data
Steering data
NWS steering angle does not seem to be available via ACMS Alpha parameters, if it is I can't find it in the list.

As stated above...in the ALPHA call up...its NWAM for the older A330's, but for the newer ones its changed to NWSA. Dont know the reason for the change but im sure somebody in Airbus does!
The 30 degree mark (steering angle limit) can be read directly from the steering handwheel (tiller).
The steering handwheel has a pointer that moves (with steering handle deflection ) around a fixed card on the base. This card will indicate the amount of deflection.
