Steering on the taxiway

some aircraft do not have nose wheel steering, but a free castering nose

I take it that you steer with brakes alone on these aircraft while
taxiing?

WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW, BECAUSE YOU WON'T GO TAKE A LESSON
is that the "rudder control devices" are connected to the nose steering in
most aircraft, just keep your heals on the floor to keep your toes off the
brakes.

Actually, I'm aware of the connection between rudder and nose wheel in
some aircraft, but I also understand that there are a number of
different ways to provide steering for taxi, and so the rudder/wheel
connection is not universal. It does appear to work that way on the
Baron.
