If the quantity difference of the outer or inner wing fuel tanks on one side is greater than 800 lbs (1500 lbs, for inflight/landing), refer to the table located in the FCOM limitations.
Nose Wheel Steering Angle Limit
+/- 85 deg.
Taxi with deflated tires
To vacate the runway or taxi at low speed with tire(s) deflated (not damaged), all of the following limitations apply:
-If max 1 tire per gear max speed in turns 7 kts
-If 2 tires on same main gear (max 1 main gear) max taxi speed 3 kts.
-For nosewheel Steering (NWS) angle, max angle 30 deg.
In addition if tire damage is suspected, the flight crew must ask for an aircraft inspection prior to vacate the runway or taxi. If the ground crew suspects that a tire burst may damage the landing gear, maintenance action is due.
