Title: Re: Brakes on landing

Auto brakes on the real planes was a show stopper!  :o

The rule of thumb was to match auto brake setting with approach.

Example: CAT-II, use 2 on auto brakes, CAT-III use three.

There were two ways to get rid of auto brakes on roll out. A tap of normal brakes with the rudder or move the switch to off.

It was hard to get a smooth disconnect using the foot brakes so most pilots would move the switch to disarm during roll out.

If you fail to disconnect via either method, the plane would come to an abrupt stop.

I never saw full auto brakes used during real world flying, only in the simulator. One time I was ferrying a light 767 from San Diego to KLAX.
On landing I selected 3 on the auto brakes - one below MAX. It was a very short stop!
