What is the procedure for handling a loss of NWS?

The correct procedure for handling a loss of Nose Wheel Steering (NWS) is to signal the pilot and move the aircraft to a safe spot. When NWS is lost, it can lead to difficulty in controlling the aircraft on the ground, making it essential to notify the pilot so they can take appropriate actions. Signaling the pilot allows for effective communication regarding the situation, and moving the aircraft to a safe area helps prevent any potential incidents or accidents that could arise from impaired steering control. This procedure prioritizes safety and ensures that the aircraft is managed in a controlled manner.

Other options like notifying the fire department, engaging reverse thrust, or shutting down all systems are not standard responses for a loss of NWS. While notifying emergency services may be necessary in certain critical situations, it is not the first step in this specific scenario. Employing reverse thrust is not advisable as it could exacerbate control issues, and shutting down all systems may not be appropriate or necessary when addressing a NWS issue.
