What is the maximum steering angle allowed for the main landing gear?

The maximum steering angle allowed for the main landing gear of the CRJ 900 is 10 degrees. This limitation is crucial for ensuring controlled and safe ground handling of the aircraft. Steering beyond the specified angle could lead to loss of control during taxiing or when maneuvering on the ground, potentially resulting in a runway incursion or damage to the aircraft or surrounding equipment. Therefore, adherence to this steering angle limitation helps maintain the integrity of ground operations and enhances pilot safety during taxiing, takeoff, and landing.
