Finn 873 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 You can steer by using differential power settings.If You don´t have seperate engine controls, use E+1, E+2, E+1+2, to select engine to control !It is hard but with practice it can be done.Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please help!!!......DaveThis reflects reality, by the way. There are freqent Twin Otter departures from our harbour and I have often taken those flights.As a licenced sea plane pilot myself I was initially surprised that they don't use water rudders, but in fact differential thrust works very well for the pilots. As does reverse thrust; they can back away from the dock so they don't need ground handlers to push them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seahawk09 0 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Try shift W that will drop your rudders so you may steer on the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macroth72 38 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Try shift W that will drop your rudders so you may steer on the water. The Otter has no rudder to drop. You have to steer like mentioned above... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
