Even when taxiing back after landing into a 30K headwind? 30 knot head wind doesn't reduce the weight on the nose wheel on taxiing, so yes, you still need yoke full aft, just less power, But when you are taxiing back after landing that 30 knot headwind is now a 30 knot tailwind. Holding full up elevator with that strong a tailwind will put a lot more weight on the nosewheel and may even flip the airplane on its nose. You did learn proper control positioning for taxiing in strong windds during your primary instruction didn't you? Matt |
