Depends on the aircraft. Some, like the 757, have the nose gear so
far behind the flight deck that the crew must adapt. They allow the
nose to travel well beyond the centerline when turning. On small
aircraft, the nose is simply kept on the line.

You know, a humorous thought just occurred to me.

A small camera and wireless transmitter, along with a wireless receiver and
LCD screen to match, is now available as a back-up aid for people not
comfortable backing up large cars and vans. All this for less than $100!

Something like that would make a lot of sense for a big airliner, wouldn't
it? g

I suppose a pilot could get one of those and a little duct tape, and fasten
it on the nose gear leg before he took off, HuH? G
