I now, from expeirience, know alot about aircraft, but one thing i never found out is how a pilot makes the plane brake. I recently brought the CH Products Pedals, and I was wondering if braking on that, is the same in real life?
Please anybody tell me how its done on a real plane!
Thanks Toby

toe brakes on the rudder pedals. The [bottom] half of the [pedals] is for controlling rudder and the top half is your brakes. They can be used individually, that is apply brakes on the right wheel and not on the left. this is called differential braking and allows [tighter] turns. Its normal procedure on the ground to have your full foot on the pedal, but on take off and landing make sure your toes are only on the rudder....

The Flinstone Method-Open the doors and start braking with your feet!

Uhhh ... IF this is true, I'd like to sign up all B747 pilots for my new entry team in the National Basketball Association.
