Abstract Conditions that may lead to jet precession as well as extragalactic radio sources that can be interpreted as such are reviewed. Attempts to calculate model brightness distributions for these and some related sources are discussed, with specific attention for “preferential avoidance” patterns and one-sided jets. Subsequently several conceivable applications of observations of jet precession are described.
