Default Steering on the taxiway

In spite of what a lot of people think, you can still steer a
non-nosewheel-steering aircraft like a Cirrus and others with the
rudders at taxi speeds. You may the brakes to turn with the wind,
however. And contrary to how many are being taught, you don't need the
brakes on the beginning of takeoff run to stay aligned with the center
stripe.
