It’s possible to “Oversteer” the nose gear of an airplane?

In very basic terms, It’s hard to…(barring any mechanical issues) but it can be done. As part of the checklist, and sometimes automated, most procedures have you switch sterling to “Take Off/Land” which basically moves control from the steering device to the rudder pedals. This reduces sensitivity and increases limits.

That’s on big planes. On GA aircraft, it’s all in the feet.

That video looks like it had a right wheel dragging which caused the steering to go hard over to one side.
