Abstract:
1. A method of controlling a steering control equipment for an aircraft which changes a traveling direction of the aircraft by changing an angular position of a steering mechanism of the aircraft while the aircraft is taxiing, the method comprising: providing a steering handle operably coupled to the steering mechanism and configured to output an operation amount of the steering handle; providing rudder pedals operably coupled to the steering mechanism and configured to output an operation amount of the rudder pedals; providing angular-position detecting means for detecting the actual angular position of the steering mechanism; providing ground-speed detecting means for detecting a speed of the aircraft relative to the ground as a ground speed; providing airspeed detecting means for detecting the speed of the aircraft relative to the air as an airspeed; providing a controller operably coupled to the steering handle, rudder pedals, angular-position detecting means, ground-speed detecting means, and airspeed detecting means, the controller being configured to:
