Brakes are used during a soft field landing where the point is to put

You have that completely backwards my friend. In a soft field landing
you don't touch the brakes


No brakes, huh? What kind of plane are you talking about? Have you done
any on short fields? (As most turf strips are.) If it's swampy enough
to create enough drag to quickly slow you down well, that's the same as
braking, right? *Think.*

Have you had this reading comprehension problem long? He said soft field,
not short field. And he didn't touch the brakes, he didn't say the plane
wouldn't slow down due to drag from the soft field.

And I didn't say "short field landing". I pointed out that most soft field
landing are made on short fields. (And short field technique isn't
appropriate.) If you interpreted my post some other way, then you have the
comprehension problem.
