This tendency is due to their high center of gravity and heavy engine over the nose wheel. However, the increased drag might make it impossible to take off again. Check NOTAMs Before departure, check the Notices to Air Missions (NOTAM) publication. In extreme cases, a nose-over can occur.

However, check NOTAMs for runway closures. A sideslip approach creates excess drag and requires more control inputs. High-wing aircraft are particularly vulnerable due to their higher center of gravity. Look at the airport layout and determine the winds in relation to the available runways.
