What Does NWS Stand For?
NWS stands for Nose Wheel Steering
NWS, or Nose Wheel Steering, is a system used in aviation to facilitate the directional control of an aircraft during ground operations. It allows pilots to steer the aircraft on the runway and taxiways by manipulating the nose wheel, improving maneuverability, particularly at low speeds. The NWS system enhances safety and efficiency during taxiing, takeoff, and landing phases of flight.
