Brakes are used during a soft field landing where the point is to put as
little weight as possible on the nose gear. Try again.

Dude - your original assertion (above) was ridiculous. ANY braking will
put more weight on the nose wheel. That's what I was responding to.
Hell, even George P. is backing me up here : )


Both are irrelevant. You use brakes during a soft field landing unless
conditions, rare conditions, prohibit them.

Just the opposite. You don't use the brakes during a soft field landing
unless rare conditions require them. You typically will have all of the
deceleration you need from the drag of the wheels in the soft field.
You should do some research before making yourself look so foolish in
public. It is easy to Google "soft field landing" and find lots of
useful information.
