A bias steered landing gear system (10L, 10R) comprises a bogie beam (12L, 12R), a first landing gear axle (18L, 18R) pivotally mounted to the bogie beam (12L, 12R), and a steering actuator assembly (34L). The first landing gear axle (18L,18R) is pivotable through an axle steering range which includes a maximum inboard steering angle (± in ) and a maximum outboard steering angle (± out ). The steering actuator assembly (34L) is operable to apply a steering force to steer the first landing gear axle (18L,18R) through the axle steering range between the maximum inboard steering angle (± in ) and the maximum outboard steering angle (± out ). The maximum inboard steering angle (± in ) is substantially larger than the maximum outboard steering angle (± out ).
