Question
Can we use differential thrust as ground steering?
Answer
No, as per rule 2.6, if an aircraft is equipped with a wheeled landing gear, the aircraft must have a ground steering mechanism for positive directional control during takeoffs and landings. Aircraft cannot rely solely on aerodynamic control surfaces for ground steering.
