Stealth Pilot What an utterly absurd statement! *You may not need to use the brakes to stop but that's what they're there for. *On a long enough runway I may not use the brakes at all but on a short runway, you better believe the brakes will be needed to stop whether you're flying a 747 or a C-150. *Everything is a compromise concerning weight and capability on an aircraft; aircraft brakes on light aircraft may not have the stopping power of power disc brakes on a dump truck but both are designed for "stopping." 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.
