This led the nose wheels to lose their<BR>centered position reference normally ensured by the shock-absorber cams. The<BR>BSCU had logged a steering system fault, because hydraulic power was not available<BR>at the time of steering system checks, therefore the BSCU was not able to proceed<BR>with the re-centering of the wheels.<BR>To prevent reoccurrence of landings with the NLG turned 90 degrees, this AD<BR>introduces operational procedures and maintenance actions.<BR>James Coyne<BR>Delegate of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority<BR>23 November 2005<BR>Federal Register of Legislative Instruments F2005L03704
