With no disrespect to anyone, it baffles me as to how many Europa pilots
continue to land nosewheel first (wheelbarrow). The first thing you learn
in basic flight landing training is to hold the nosewheel off for as long as
you can, until the elevator looses the power to hold it up. The Europa
trigear is so easy and forgiving it practically lands itself. In 45 years
of flying I've never touched down the nosewheel first. Can someone explain
to me how this keeps happening? Again, I mean no disrespect to
anyone....I'm just wondering if there's something I'm overlooking here.
