So it sounds like this technique would work for any aircraft with the rear landing gear aft of the center of lift? Or is this the g280 special for some other reason?
- dogma1138 5y agoPossibly a combination of landing speed, center of mass, center of lift, landing mass and lift and quite importantly the size and load tolerance of the landing gear that makes this more possible on a G280 without the aircraft jumping around until the landing gear gives and your landing turns into a crash. That said this reads like a bad idea overall.
- EricButton 5y agoYes. also wingspan and wing sweep as well as flap configuration can affect how an airplane flies as pitch changes (and as distance to the runway changes). So while other aircraft might dramatically lose lift with this type of maneuver, the G280 doesn't. Agree that it's a bad idea to get creative with flying airplanes. That said, this maneuver might tend to reduce landing "float" which introduces its own set of risks. But still not a good idea.
