it all depends on the aircraft strength in the undercarage.

oh yeah Fg Off Max Stout

I think you need to look at Newton's Laws of Motion again
im not saying your wrong but im just putin g foward a point of view. i know that if you hit the braks all the weight will be transfered to the frount of the aircraft and it will pitch down but the messerschmitt 262 swallow pilots had to apply brakes to drop the tail so they could take off. but hence im not saying you incorrect.

but everone knows that when you have to brake heavily that you pull back on your controll colum to take that weight off the nose wheel
