Cessna 206

[PaulShahar]

I'm experiencing severe swiveling when landing my Cessna-206 (285HP), immediately after touching-down all 3 wheels (no brakes applied).
Additional to the following obvious reasons, do anyone know of other?:

· Asymmetric friction at main-gear wheel-shaft.
· Loose front-gear, relative to pedals.
· Static friction of one of the main-gear wheel braking pads.

Thanks for your advice.

If it is the front wheel, there are shims that go in the nose strut to eliminate shimming.

Simple process, same procedure works for 152, 172, 182, etc...

Try being more specific. Sounds like you mean 'nose wheel shimmy' but I'm not sure. Is it only after the nose wheel touches down?

At a guess with info provided I think you need to service your shimmy damper

Sounds like a bum shimmy damper

Did you say you landed with all the wheels at once (as in flat)??

Shimmy damper needs service, or is loose, or both.
Nose wheel needs balancing.
Nose wheel assembly needs bolts tightened or replaced.

The control yoke should be in your lap. Is it when it's doing this?
