Tiller is for Taxi Only
There have been several accidents attributed to improper use of the tiller during takeoff. Then I saw this post from another pilot:
"Over the years of flying right seat on the DC-9 I've seen several Captains regularly grab the tiller just after touch down.
You have to wonder if their feet are still in the game screaming down the runway well over 100 knots.
We had a DC-10 coming in from Hawaii years ago landing on 17C at DFW with a wet runway and depart the runway off to the west into the grass."
Not saying it was the cause here, but boneheads still continue to use the tiller not just for takeoff, but for landing. Incredible!
