Had an interesting experience with a pilot with lots of nosewheel time.

On being converted to an easy tailwheel aircraft (a 2-seater) he made a perfect approach and not a horrendous landing. The problem happened as the aircraft slowed - he tried to lower the nose!!!!

So watch out for ingrained habits. In moments of stress or when concentration lapses, we all revert to 'autopilot'
