I see your point and I agree with that but my original reply was for a post asking what are the possible muscle memories for a driver which is an ex sea king qualified. If you were an ex sea king pilot you probably remember that the sea king is taxied with the thrust of the tail rotor using a tail wheel that’s free of moving. It’s s total different concept and it may induce fresh qualified pilots in error. I had to force myself the very first flights (100 has or so) not to step on the pedals. As I wrote below the causes could be also PIO (pilot induced oscillation).
