At CG

At nose

Before CG

After CG of the aircraft

Correct Answer : After CG of the aircraft

Explanation : Main wheel is located after the cg of the aircraft in typical tricycle landing gear arrangement. This arrangement is stable. An auxiliary wheel is located ahead of cg of the aircraft. It can be used for large crab angle as well.
