## Discrepancy

AS POWER WAS ADVANCED FOR TAKEOFF, THE NOSE WHEEL STEERING FAILED.  THE CREW ABORTED TAKEOFF AND WHILE TAXIING OFF THE RUNWAY RESET THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.  AS THEY ATTEMPTED ANOTHER TAKEOFF THE NOSE WHEEL STEERING FAILED AGAIN AND THE CREW RETURNED TO THE GATE.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND SERVICED THE NOSE WHEEL STRUT IN ACCORDANCE WITH DORNIER MAINTENANCE MANUAL 12-00-00.  OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE PERFORMED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
