The heading control system includes an interface arranged to receive a bias signal indicating a bias towards the port or the starboard of the aircraft and one or more processors. The one or more processors are arranged to determine, based on the bias signal, an offset angle defining an offset from a longitudinal axis of the aircraft and to perform a control process to control the nose wheel angle within an angular range based on the offset angle.
