Nose, wing tip & tail clearance

Nose, wing tip & tail clearance

The following table shows the increased radius of turn of the wing and tail relative to the nose during a turn with full nose wheel steering applied. This table shows that turning in a 737-600 is probably most hazardous because the wings and tail turn out much further than the nose.

	Radius of turn (ft)
Series	Nose	Wing	Tail
-300	55	+5	+ 9
-400	61	+1	+ 7
-500	50	+9	+10
-600	51	+17	+11
-700	56	+13	+10
-800	66	+6	+9
-900	71	+2	+7
