Train drivers braking vs. pilot braking ? REALLY ? What about the emergency brake in trains, cushioned off as well ? As in "not to upset me" ?
I am puzzled by your reply - we are discussing here about 'normal' procedures -
train drivers do not use emergency braking except well erm
in an emergency and they often have 2 or even 3 types of brake to use depending on the kit they are driving
Re flying I was merely pointing out in the increase of harsh barking used on landing seemingly to enable quick exits off runways - if you read my post correctly you will get my point
of course pax
are strapped in but being chucked forward restrained by their belts decelerating from 150mph to 40mph in a couple of seconds is not nice for the pax just so matey has to clear the runway as someone is up his behind
