THE PILOT REPORTED THAT WHILE PERFORMING A WIDE SWEEPING LEFT TAXI TURN TOWARD THE SHORELINE, HE OBSERVED THAT HIS RATE OF CLOSURE WITH THE SHORELINE WAS HIGHER THAN DESIRED. HIS APPLICATION OF POWER TO MAKE THE RUDDER MORE EFFECTIVE ON THE ICE TO MANEUVER AWAY FROM THE SHORELINE WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL.
