Claim 13:
14. A method for mechanically rotating an aircraft to a desired pitch angle during a procedure, the method comprising:
determining that the aircraft has reached a predetermined speed;
opening a hydraulic valve hydraulically coupled to a nose gear cylinder and a main gear cylinder to enable fluid to flow from the nose gear cylinder to the main gear cylinder, or vice-versa, to achieve the desired pitch angle, the nose gear disposed proximate a front of the aircraft, the nose gear comprising:
a main strut/gear link;
a rotatable aft/retract link rotatably attached to the main strut/gear link; and
a pivot-piston rotatably attached to the aft/retract link; and

determining that the nose gear has moved to a third position and a main gear have moved to a first position in which the aircraft is positioned at the desired pitch angle; and
closing the hydraulic valve to hydraulically lock a position of the nose gear relative to the main gear.
