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.

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 ...
The landing gear of the Sedan is in a conventional arrangement, with steel tube main gear, and a steerable tailwheel. Unlike its siblings the Champ and Chief, both of which employ oleo struts for shock absorption, the Sedan makes used of bungee cords to absorb landing and taxi loads.
The Chipmunk uses a conventional tailwheel landing gear arrangement and is fitted with fabric-covered flight control surfaces; the wing is also fabric-covered aft of the spar. [8] [1] In terms of handling, the Chipmunk exhibited a gentle and responsive flight attitude.
