Brakes?

I have the POH for it, C150/2, but haven't really gotten into it yet.
Unlike many here, I'm very new at this Steven.

I don't have as much to contribute, but at the same time I like to be
in the conversation if that's not too much to ask. Perhaps I should
wait until I get my CFII, ATP, 747 rating or an astronauts license
before I can join all you guys? lol


You should wait until you've read the manual before operating the airplane.
No laughter at all.

Did your CFI also fail to point out the POH, or did you just never
notice
it
existed as well?

visit the treehouse club.

Simple question, when refuelling should brakes be on or off (for a
light plane)? I've been told both answers with logical reasons for
both. What should I do???

If you find yourself chasing the airplane across the ramp, the brakes
should probably be on.

Parking brakes shouldn't be used for extended periods; that's what
chokes are for.


I'm asking about refuelling, not parking per se.

What do you think is particular about refueling as opposed to any
other sort of short term parking other than attaching a static
ground to the airplane?

If you are alone with no one around to restrain the airplane, stop
the engine and release the brakes.

If the airplanes starts to roll, apply the parking brakes while you
restrain the airplane.

If it doesn't roll, don't apply the parking brakes.

I just don't see why you stopped makes the slightest difference.


I don't either.

Don't feel bad. The misspelling most often seen in newsgroups is

Cohkcs.


Just for a bit of variety.

I suggested that to an FAA inspector who jumped into our B4 and asked me
what the Va was and he told me "Stop being a wiseass, sonny, and tell me
what I want to know"

WingFlaps,

What's the difference?

William,

Sorry, but not funny. And don't misunderstand people here, they mean
well with you. Because, if you only ever do, think and understand what
your CFI points out, you're an accident waiting to happen. You need to
take the initiative and learn for yourself. Besides, if your CFI
doesn't make you read the POH before you fly the plane, you might just
need a new one.
