Which one of the following describes a possible handling and performance problem encountered with a CG too far aft?
  • A
    Decreased tendency to skid.
  • B
    Degradation or loss of nose-wheel steering.
  • C
    Improvement in nose-wheel steering.
  • D
    No likelihood of a nose-up overbalance (on a tricycle gear aircraft) on the ground resulting in tail damage.

The efficiency of the nose-wheel steering will decrease for an aft centre of gravity because the weight on the nose wheel is also decreased. It results in degradation or even loss of nose-wheel steering.
