My understanding is that you're always supposed to follow the
centerline of a taxiway with your nose wheel. However, I find that in
very large aircraft, such as a 747, doing so allows the rear of the
aircraft to very nearly roll off the taxiway in turns; it seems that I
must swing the nose outward towards the edge of the taxiway in turns
so that the rear portion of the aircraft stays reasonably centered--in
much the same way that one steers a bus on a city street. Is this
kind of swinging outside the centerline the correct way to do it, or
am I missing something?


Yes, Your mind. Send me 25$ via paypal and I'll e-mail you the answer.
