HS-125 flight crew reported a malfunction with nose wheel tiller during landing rollout.
Synopsis
HS-125 flight crew reported a malfunction with nose wheel tiller during landing rollout.
Narrative
FO completed normal landing ILS XX on centerline; at 80kts at Intersection 1 the FO transferred the controls back to the Captain as per standard procedures; After taking full positive control of the aircraft; Captain noticed that the aircraft was deviating 20 degrees to the left towards the RWY XY intersection. Captain attempted immediately to return back onto a straight line; in order to take the exit left onto Taxiway 2 as previously briefed and planned. When Captain corrected the nose drift; the cockpit was aware about the situation; and TWR alerted the crew to continue to taxi on the RWY and not turn into RWY XY. At that time Captain was able to make the correction with the tiller; which seemed to be stiff and off center. Captain continued normal taxi to FBO; and was given the TWR landline phone number.After parking and engine shutdown; Captain called Supervisor. Supervisor briefed Captain about how it appeared to the Tower that the aircraft was about to enter RWY XY; hence the issued alert via TWR frequency. Supervisor and Captain communicated and completely acknowledged standard taxi/ATC procedures; and that any deviation from procedures may create a hazard for all taxiing; departing and landing aircraft. The potential conflict was avoided.
Second reporter narrative
FO completed normal landing; ILS Runway XX; at 80kts at intersection FO transferred the controls back to CA as per standard procedure. After taking full positive control of the aircraft CA noticed the aircraft deviated approximately 20 degrees to the left towards Runway XY intersection. CA attempting immediately to return back to a straight line in order to take the exit left onto Taxiway 1 as previously briefed and planned. When CA was correcting the nose drift; the cockpit was aware about the situation; the Tower alerted the crew to continue taxi on the runway and not turn on into Runway XY. At that time CA was able to make the correction with the tiller; which seemed to be stiff and off center. CA continued normal taxi to FBO and was given the Tower landline phone number to call. After parking and engine shut down. CA called Supervisor. Supervisor briefed CA about how it appeared to the Tower that the aircraft was about to enter Runway XY; hence the issued alert via Tower Frequency. Supervisor and CA communicated and acknowledge 100% about standard taxi/ATC procedures; and that any deviation from these procedures may create a hazard for all taxi; departing and take off aircraft. The potential conflict was avoided.
