Disclosed is a control apparatus (300) for controlling a steering system (301) of an aircraft landing gear, the aircraft landing gear being configurable in a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. The steering system (301) comprises a wheel arrangement (202) including one or more wheels. The control apparatus (300) is arranged to perform a control process comprising: receiving one or more signals from one or more sensors (302a, 302b) indicating a position of the wheel arrangement (202) when the landing gear is in the stowed configuration; determining whether a predetermined condition is satisfied in relation to the position of the wheel arrangement (202); and, in response to determining that the predetermined condition is satisfied, performing an adjustment process to control the steering system (301) to adjust the position of the wheel arrangement (202).
