I take your point about broken nosewheels, the AAIB reports must contain broken nosewheels more than other type of accident. Which surely shows that trikes are harder to fly than tailwheels...
Things have not changed much since I last flew in your country I see.
I also used to be fascinated by the number of ham handed pilots the system churned out.
Reading the different comments here really gives one some things to think about....from poorly trained pilots who semi crash land until they are successful in busting the nose wheel off to pilots who don't like to fly unless the auto pilot is doing the flying......makes one wonder what would happen some day when the weather is really bad and the auto pilot fails?????
