Discount

Sorry discount have to disagree with you on this point. The important action is to get the weight on the wheels. Spoilers will kill the lift thereby producing a downward force on the wheels. Holding the stick full back will increase the downward force on the mainwheels and this is what is desirable. With the aircraft on the ground and engines at or near idle, extra lift will not be generated. Braking action no matter how small should stop the nosewheel from lifting.

I do agree though that the nosewheel should remain on the ground.
