If you want to train on something a bit more 'flash',get your wad out and go and do it,(it won't necessarily make you a better pilot)
Oh yes it bleedin will!
'Flash'? Maybe not. Conventional gear, YES absolutely!
You can get a PPL on a C150 or PA28 or PA 38 as many do and have no idea how to land. Go position yourself at the touchdown point of any GA field in the country and watch the 'arrivals' of the trikes. Most will be 3-point, with little attempt at any sort of hold-off. It's painfully horrid to see!
They will also be about 20% too fast. But the tri-gear masks those gross handling errors and presumably the instructors ignore it as the aeroplane doesn't seem to care - until some poor sap, who may be the one in ten who does a correct fully-held-off touchdown, has that toothpick nosegear collapse because of all that previous misuse. (Just in case some haven't yet got it, nosewheels are not designed to take touchdown forces!). And Up Up UP go all our insurance premiums with a shock-loaded engine, bent firewall, and scrap prop!
Learn to fly with conventional gear, and the aeroplane will reject such sloppy technique; you just won't get away with it, thus producing a
far better pilot. A pilot who actually knows how to land!
Now, can someone please invent an aeroplane that prevents pilots flying 'bomber' circuits?
