landing gear problems

[EHM-1821 Javier]

Sometimes before takeoff,the landing gear is normal but after landing,it seems to like to turn to the left more than right.i checked the landing gear and it looks like it has been turned around 180degrees

Is what i think is true?

I don't know the reason for the wheels to be turned the way they are, I know of 1 reason why an aircraft will turn one way or the other with no input from the pilot, however this will only happen on a prop or turboprop aircraft. If this is occuring with these types of aircraft, have a look at the prop feathering levers, if these are not aligned and fully forward the aircraft will turn towards the feathered prop. Hope this may help.

2 days ago,after landing at madrid,the landing gear kept wanting to turn left.even durig taxiing before takeoff.it is true that i have to feather the props but wad is wrong with the jets?

I guess this is due to the calibration problem described in the other topic and it will be solved once you calibrate the joystick.

Other than that, verify that you disabled the autopilot on ground.

Something to look out for (not sure if it is the problem here, though): Certain aircraft (like the old MD11 I think) when on full left lock during taxi will end up turning right due to the wheels turning > 90deg - so you would need to never turn the rudder all the way to the stops.

i remember that my autopilot was set but not turned on(set heading,set altitude)
