What can a nose wheel possibly do to me! Thousand of dollars! Maybe tens of thousands of dollars! Do not let this amateur mistake of not straightening the nose damage your flying career. If you stop the plane with the nose wheel at an angle, especially turning into the run up, when you start taxing again you may just rip that nose wheel off the rim! If you do this on a corporate aircraft the costs are into the tens of thousands! No joke! This could lead to you being placed on “Stand-Bye!”
