I'm familiar with that book; it's on my shelf, too. However, loose rivets tells me that large widebodied airplanes aren't relevant and therefore don't have a part of this discussion...and then invokes the author of a book entitled "Handling the Big Jets." Somewhat non-sequitor, one might say. I thought perhaps he might mean someone else.
Apparently examples using a variety of corporate jets, piston twins and light airplanes weren't relevant either...but the name Davis is non the less invoked as though it were diety.
Experimentation won't change the fact that pulling back on the elevator at sub-reverser speeds, such as when exiting the runway, will do nothing, have no significant effect, and doesn't help slow the airplane or control it. Nor will it alter the fact that getting the nose down, lowering the angle of attack and killing lift on landing, and thus transferring the airplane weight to wheels in order to avail one's self of nosewheel steering and reverse thrust and brakes...is far superior and important than trying to hold the nosewheel off the ground as though the airpalne were a Cessna 172.
