Question - Stopping Rotors
When closing down; some pilots say - that the application of power pedal before rotor brake serves to get the Nr to the required limit before application and can prolong the life of the brake as it can be applied at a lower limit.
Question: Are the torsional loads through the T/R shaft greater (ie: beyond limits) when slowing the rotors with pedal bearing in mind the loads are being transmitted in reverse? Is this good practice?
