The Continental DC-10 overrun at LAX:
The PNF was required to apply forward pressure on the control column during a rejected take-off to ensure good nosewheel contact.
I remember being told that the PNF on the Continental DC-10 was a big chap and that he stuffed the control column fully forward into the instrument panel. The horizontal stabiliser was the same wingspan as a DC-3 and it was thought that the above action lifted the back end up and rendered the brakes somewhat ineffective in the initial (vital) few seconds.
By the way, I flew the DC-10 for the better part of 8 years with 7 of those in the left seat.
