Default aircraft brakes were never designed for stopping aircraft.

one day it is hoped that you will learn something of aircraft design
and good piloting skills.
untill then I suppose you'll just keep plugging away doing the best
you can as a poor pilot.

the brake pads on your aircraft are about 3/4" x 2" in size.
the aircraft weighs 1500lb.

...but why am I surprised. the average american doesnt even know how
to change a tyre.

Stealth Pilot


Gosh darn! I'm hurt that you call me a poor pilot because I
occasionally find it necessary to step on the brakes to stop my
aircraft. The placard against using the brakes for stopping must have
gone missing. The reverse thrust lever on my aircraft must have gone
missing along with that placard. How does a masterful pilot like
yourself decelerate on a short field landing before going off into the
trees? Perhaps you're used to landing on aircraft carriers with
arresting gear? Me thinks "Stealth Pilot" would be more aptly named
"Imaginary Pilot."
