It does plenty of good if you have good system logic knowledge and more importantly comprehend the moment instead of asking why you’re not receiving feedback from the nose wheel steering. I had multiple hard transfers occur while I was driving the 175 to the gate. First I always delayed having the FO shutdown number 2 until nearing the gate (slowing down) with APU up 2 mins ago, still had some unwanted results. The emergency brake works well, and can be used “supposedly” for six applications.
