please note - all operators operating into NZAA - the AIP specifically mentions confining all operations to the sealed surfaces. All I wanted was a nice quiet Saturday afternoon at work, was it asking too much ...?

Just speculating, but it reads as though one of the cables from the nosewheel tiller to the hydraulic selector snapped. I've seen that happen on one of our Jetstreams as well, luckily during taxi out, not takeoff. It can really catch you off guard since the tiller center point can move as a result (ie. nosewheel centered with tiller offset left/right).

Good to see it ended well (although the off duty pilot could've given the pax a quick heads-up to assume brace position

).

It was -VAH involved in the incident not -JSH. I understand -VAH is back in service now though.

whatever happened the crew did a good job handling it and the aftermath from what I could see - sitting in the tower seat - well done.
