one day it is hoped that you will learn something of aircraft design
and good piloting skills.

And perhaps one day you will learn to read the responses to your posts,
several of which have proven you to be wrong about the purpose of aircraft
brakes. Did you ever bother to read any Cessna POH? (From Cessna 152 POH: (Step
6 of short field landing procedure) "6. Brakes-- APPLY HEAVILY.")

What are the FAA certification requirements regarding aircraft brakes? Do the
required certification tests involve actually stopping the aircraft?

Further, if light aircraft brakes are only there for holding the aircraft
against the engine (and perhaps for taxiing), why does every glider I have ever
flown have a brake installed on the main wheel?
