Narrative:
Cleared for takeoff. Taking runway at puerto vallarta, mx, the aircraft experienced loss of nose wheel steering. Stopped airplane using braking control. Cycled nose wheel/steering/anti-skid switch. Regained nosewheel steering conducted taxi checklist. Aircraft was determined safe to taxi. No further problems with nose wheel steering. Normal takeoff. No further problems. Maintenance control was contacted by crew. Their solutions (action of cycling nose wheel steering/anti-skid switch was crew's previous write-up was done by captain and appropriate logbook entries made. There were no indications of loss of any system to crew other than nose wheel's inability to maintain directional control initially.

Title: ACFT EQUIP PROB -- ACR FLC HAD TO RECYCLE THE NOSE WHEEL STEERING ANTI-SKID SWITCH TO REGAIN NOSE WHEEL STEERING.
Narrative: CLRED FOR TKOF. TAKING RWY AT PUERTO VALLARTA, MX, THE ACFT EXPERIENCED LOSS OF NOSE WHEEL STEERING. STOPPED AIRPLANE USING BRAKING CTL. CYCLED NOSE WHEEL/STEERING/ANTI-SKID SWITCH. REGAINED NOSEWHEEL STEERING CONDUCTED TAXI CHKLIST. ACFT WAS DETERMINED SAFE TO TAXI. NO FURTHER PROBS WITH NOSE WHEEL STEERING. NORMAL TKOF. NO FURTHER PROBS. MAINT CTL WAS CONTACTED BY CREW. THEIR SOLUTIONS (ACTION OF CYCLING NOSE WHEEL STEERING/ANTI-SKID SWITCH WAS CREW'S PREVIOUS WRITE-UP WAS DONE BY CAPT AND APPROPRIATE LOGBOOK ENTRIES MADE. THERE WERE NO INDICATIONS OF LOSS OF ANY SYS TO CREW OTHER THAN NOSE WHEEL'S INABILITY TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CTL INITIALLY.
