## Discrepancy

THE AIRCRAFT WAS TAKING THE RUNWAY FOR TAKEOFF WHEN THE CREW RECEIVED A NOSE WHEEL STEERING FAIL CAS MESSAGE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL SO THE CREW BROUGHT THE AIRCRAFT TO A STOP.  THE FLIGHT CLEARED THE RUNWAY AND RETURNED TO THE GATE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE INSPECTED AND PERFORMED A TAXI CHECK IN ACCORDANCE WITH DORNIER MAINTENANCE MANUAL 32-50-00.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS THEN RELEASED FOR SERVICE.
