Flight paths aligned with the runway benefit from wheel gyro influence by improved lateral stability, but will not affect descent or ascent aspects of the flight path. Touching the brakes will assist flight paths including banking, Tyre wear is reduced if the blue smoke zone can be avoided. Having the wheels turning even slowly would make a significant difference. Wheel landing speed can be adjusted to suit. I imagine the overall effect should be less tyre wear, more landing alignment stability, less gear stress, and greater passenger comfort. | |
