No... this is the point at which there is more gravity acting on the
plane than lift... the wing cannot lift the plane off the gorund.
Putting more pressure on the mains will let you brake quicker.

OK, so by bringing the yoke/stick full aft, aren't you increasing the
angle of attack, generating more lift and _removing_ wieght from the
mains? (Sure, the aerodynamic braking does help).

This was discussed in a thread hehttp://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...owse_frm/threa...

but it seems to be something that everyone has an opinion on....

Under what circumstances would
"wheelbarrowing" occur?

Anytime the plane is rolling too fast, the potential for wheelbarrowing can
happen whether it be landing or take off.

For me, I do the opposite in my Beechsundowner.

After landing, after all three wheels are firmly on terra firma, WHENEVER
POSSIBLE, I hold the yoke full aft until the plane slows down enough that
the stabilator has no effect on keeping the pressure off the nosewheel
(similar to a softfield landing technique).

I want the weight to remain on the mains as long as I can so I can prevent
the chance of nosewheel shimmy as well as wheelbarrowing down the runway.
