What are the advantages of a tail wheel versus a nose wheel on an airplane?
A nose wheel (or tricycle) undercarriage aircraft has the advantage of easier, more stable takeoffs and landings, as well as control on the ground. A tail dragger has better short takeoff and landing characteristics as the wing incidence is higher, but with added difficulty when taxiing and the possibility of ground looping (aircraft pirouettes around one of the main wheels) Aircraft with retractible landing gear benefit from the lighter weight of tailwheel aircraft, plus added simplicity.

How can you slow a plane down?
there are a couple of ways to slow a plane down. the first is to throttle down, this will help decrease speed. the second is pitch, if you increase the pitch, or raise the nose, you can decrease speed too. most aircraft have a pitch control wheel that raises or lowers the pitch (Nose) of the aircraft. By raising the pitch alittle and throttling down, you will slow the aircraft down really quick.
Where does the pilot of an aircraft sit?
