From the DT:
Russian pilots have been told not to brake too much to reduce wear and tear amid a shortage of parts for plane repairs because of
western sanctions.
According to internal memos from four Russian airline companies, pilots have been asked to be gentle when breaking and taxing.
S7 Airlines has told pilots to use engine reverse thrust and to avoid autobrake mode if the runaway is long enough, the Aviatorshina Telegram channel reported. Pilots were also told they shouldn’t go hard on brakes in order to get off the runaway quickly to make way for other planes.
Urals Airlines, Rossiya and Pobeda published similar memos instructing pilots to “pay close attention to a temporary policy of fuel efficiency and economising the aircraft’s resources”.
Traffic control were given separate instructions to offer aircraft longer slots for landing to give planes more time to taxi off the runway.
