On landing, I aerobrake and occasionally, you do get a nose up moment from the reversers or a wind gust. I hear Timbo just zens the thing on.

The 777 is easy to grease on until you prang one. Then, due to lack of landings, it probably took me 6 months to get my mojo back. Its embarassing. Its like E.D. for landings.
