"All you had to remember was that to stop after the power back, it was forward thrust not brakes - not unless you want an embarrassing view of the sky and a "hats-on" interview with the the Chief Pilot."
I was going to say....! Note that a nose-wheel plane will be temporarily converted to a tail-dragger when going BACKWARDS under power (location of CG relative to wheels). With enough speed you could even ground-loop it, I expect, although a "tail-over" would probably occur first.
As a pax I've ridden through several power-backs over the years and thought it a neat idea - but in an era when some (Virgin?) are suggesting tractoring all the way to the RWY threshold, burning Jet-A just to go backwards a few feet seems like an idea whose time has passed.
