In fixed-gear aircraft, it prevents the kind of vibration Norm mentioned. In retractibles, it keeps an unbalanced tire from jamming inside the wheel well, leading to embarassing problems during the landing checklist. Because spinning tires have very little inertia (compared to the aircraft as a whole), only a light application of the brakes should be needed. Regards, DJ Molny ihnp4!wnuxa!djmolny
