There is an nosegear brake lever right of the emergency brake which you can set to navigation / landing.

 

For making turns at low speed you need to use rudder and brakes - at higher speeds you should be able to steer with rudder only.

 

Don´t forget to switch the nosegear brake lever back before take-off.

Nope. No nosewheel steering - you use differential braking.

 

You need to brake and apply rudder. Be aware that you don't brake the wheels separately, but instead you actually release the braking force of the opposite wheel by applying rudder for turining into the desired direction.

 

Example:

you apply 50% brake -> both wheels decellerate

now you apply, i.e. right rudder -> the LEFT wheel is braked LESS while the right wheel is STILL braked with 50% braking power -> you turn right

Same as used in British aircraft for decades. Hand lever plus bias via rudder deflection was standard up until pretty recently in the UK

 

Thats the reason that the "brakes on" hand signal is open hand to clenched fist, and vice versa.
