It does if you have bad brakes, and it pulls when the brakes are applied. Or, even, blowouts from the sudden emergency braking. Add to that an Easterly cross wind of 25kts or more, and you have a plane “veering” to the North-West, as this one did.
I’m anxious to find out why the takeoff was aborted.
After aborting a take off, yes. While taxiing, no. I was just pointing out an error by the writer.
