Today doing a descent, speed reached about 200 mph and all of a sudden I experienced a large amount of Yaw, took a fair amount of rudder pressure to get the ball centered again. This is the second time this has happened, both times during descent. I suspect the nose wheel is "broken free" over the friction and shifted to one side causing the yaw.
Once I slowed down to about 160 mph, I tried yawing with the rudder both left and right to correct but no joy, in correcting the ball out of center condition.
Landed without incident. ( kept the nose wheel off as long a possible). Tomorrow I will check the nose wheel break out force and adjust as necessary.
Anyone else experienced this?
Any thoughts on how to correct this in the air, kind of annoying to hold the extra rudder pressure until landing.
