ELECTRONIC CONTROL N/WHEEL STEERING (P/N 8700-5) - As Removed

The 8700-5 is an electronic control unit for nose wheel steering in aircraft landing gear systems (ATA Chapter 32). This component processes pilot inputs from the tiller and rudder pedals, then commands electro-hydraulic steering valves through a dedicated steering computer to enable precise ground maneuvering. The unit conditions analog and digital signals, translating control inputs into proportional valve commands for smooth nose gear deflection during taxi, takeoff, and landing operations.

Installation and operational verification must follow the aircraft maintenance manual and landing gear procedures specific to your airframe.
