Yep! You can even do that in the air!

Which is dangerous without a rear view miror and rear window.

Flight Safety's Lear simulator, when they first installed it
back in the late 70-early 80s would stop in flight if the
gear was down and the pilot applied the wheel brakes. You
even got the chirp of the tires.

I thought you just told the sim to increase winds on the nose to 200 kts.
Then press "." as necessary to work the brakes. That's how we back up in
real life, right? <ugh>

Rocket Engineering in Spokane is doing PT6A conversions to Dukes and
P-Barons - you can back those up on the ramp if you were so inclined.

Yes, you can back up a Baron (like the one I own and fly) by shifting into
reverse. It is the R on the switches. Rearward visibility is limited,
however, and I usually roll the windows down to look out.

It is a lot easier getting the plane into the hangar than using a power tug,
like a lot of single engine pilots. On the other hand, taxiing out is simply
a matter of raising the hangar door and starting both engines, and then
using the hangar door remote control to close the door after leaving. It
saves a lot of time.

Actually,

THere IS an STC for reversing props on a Baron...............the only one on
a light twin that I'm aware of.

I think there have been several reversing prop STC, usually
on seaplanes, such as the BE 18 and even the Aztec.

I hope students were told that this occurred only in simulation.

I don't see a switch marked R.

What does STC stand for?
