Some people have the notion they should never be used.

If that were so, why did the manufacturer put them on in the first place?

1. Over time they have the tendency to stick, which can be a problem
when taking off from a short runway.


If your brakes stick in the amount of time it takes fuel. Get them
fixed. If you can't tell in during the taxi to take-off then you
shouldn't have a problem.



2. At big airports, tug drivers sometimes think they can just move any
plane they want if it's in their way. If your parking brake is set,
it'll get ruined this way.



See issue #1. Well, that's one way to get your brakes fixed.
