The conventional landing gear arrangement has disadvantages compared to nosewheel aircraft. [2] Tailwheel aircraft are more subject to "nose-over" accidents due to incorrect application of brakes by the pilot. [2] Conventional geared aircraft are much more susceptible to ground looping. A ground loop occurs when directional control is lost on ...

The landing gear represents 2.5 to 5% of the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) and 1.5 to 1.75% of the aircraft cost, but 20% of the airframe direct maintenance cost. A suitably-designed wheel can support 30 t (66,000 lb), tolerate a ground speed of 300 km/h and roll a distance of 500,000 km (310,000 mi) ; it has a 20,000 hours time between overhaul and a 60,000 hours or 20 year life time.

In powered aeroplanes, the ground loop phenomenon is predominantly associated with aircraft that have conventional landing gear, due to the centre of gravity being positioned behind the main wheels. It may also occur with tricycle landing gear if excessive load is applied to the nosewheel, a condition known as wheel-barrowing.
The landing gear of the Chief is in a conventional arrangement, with steel tube main gear which use an oleo strut for shock absorption, and a steerable tailwheel. All of the models—11AC, 11BC, and 11CC—were approved as seaplanes , with the addition of floats and vertical stabilizer fins; the seaplane versions were designated the S11AC ...
